People v. Freer

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
May 16, 1956
2 A.D.2d 643 (N.Y. App. Div. 1956)

Opinion

May 16, 1956


Appeal from an order of the County Court of Chenango County denying a motion in the nature of coram nobis to set aside a judgment convicting petitioner of the crime of burglary in the third degree. We do not reach the merits of the application. The County Judge who heard the application was the District Attorney who prosecuted petitioner, and he was disqualified, in our opinion, to hear the matter ( People v. Morgan, 277 App. Div. 956). Order reversed and the matter remitted to the County Court of Chenango County for a hearing before another County Judge. Foster, P.J., Bergan, Coon, Zeller and Gibson, JJ., concur.
