People v. Piwowar

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Apr 12, 1984
101 A.D.2d 686 (N.Y. App. Div. 1984)

Opinion

April 12, 1984

Appeal from the Erie County Court, McCarthy, J.

Present — Hancock, Jr., J.P., Denman, Boomer, O'Donnell and Schnepp, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The record establishes that, at the time of his escape, defendant was in custody as a result of an authorized arrest based on probable cause (Penal Law, § 205.00, subd 2; § 205.05; cf. People v Tedesche, 3 A.D.2d 220). Additionally, although the sentencing court imposed a term of 30 days' imprisonment and three years' probation without specifying whether the sentences are consecutive or concurrent, section 60.01 (subd 2, par [d]) of the Penal Law provides that when a sentence is imposed along with a term of probation "[t]he sentence of imprisonment shall be a condition of and run concurrently with the sentence of probation". Thus the sentence is made concurrent by operation of law and is not excessive.
