Opinion
December 17, 1956
Present — Nolan, P.J., Wenzel, Beldock, Murphy and Hallinan, JJ.
Motion to vacate a judgment of the Court of Special Sessions of the City of New York, Borough of Brooklyn, convicting defendant of the crime of petit larceny, and for a new trial, granted to the extent of reversing said judgment, ordering a new trial and remitting the fine. It is conceded that a transcript of the minutes of the trial is unavailable. Under the circumstances, there is no alternative other than to order a new trial ( People v. Kaplan, 278 App. Div. 665; People v. Keefe, 254 App. Div. 683).
