People ex Rel. Morris v. Commissioner of Correction

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Nov 21, 1968
243 N.E.2d 753 (N.Y. 1968)

Opinion

Argued November 15, 1968

Decided November 21, 1968

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department, DOMINIC S. RINALDI, J.

William M. Kunstler, Arthur Turco, Gerald B. Lefcourt and David M. Goldbeck for appellants.

Elliott Golden, Acting District Attorney ( Frank Di Lalla of counsel), for respondent.


Order affirmed, without costs. We find insupportable the arguments advanced by the appellants, namely, (1) that the failure of the Governor to grant a hearing before issuing his extradition warrant denied appellants due process of law; (2) that the arrest of appellants prior to the receipt by the Governor of the State of New York of an extradition request from the Governor of the State of Maryland was impermissible and (3) that appellants' privilege against self incrimination was abridged by the procedure adopted by the habeas corpus court below.

Concur: Chief Judge FULD and Judges BURKE, SCILEPPI, BERGAN, KEATING, BREITEL and JASEN.
