People v. Thill

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Feb 24, 1981
420 N.E.2d 95 (N.Y. 1981)

Opinion

Argued February 9, 1981

Decided February 24, 1981

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Fourth Judicial Department, JAMES H. BOOMER, J.

Lawrence T. Kurlander, District Attorney (David L. Pogue of counsel), for appellant.

Mark J. Mahoney for respondent.


MEMORANDUM.

The order of the Appellate Division should be reversed and the case remitted to that court for a review of the facts.

By pleading guilty, defendant waived his statutory right to assert that he was entitled to dismissal because the People were not ready for trial within the time required by CPL 30.30. (See People v Clary, 52 N.Y.2d 1023 [decided herewith]; People v Friscia, 51 N.Y.2d 845.) He cannot, therefore, test the validity of that claim on appeal.

We reject defendant's argument that the due process clauses of the Federal and State Constitutions require a contrary conclusion.

Chief Judge COOKE and Judges JASEN, GABRIELLI, JONES, WACHTLER, FUCHSBERG and MEYER concur.

Order reversed and case remitted to the Appellate Division, Fourth Department, for further proceedings in accordance with the memorandum herein.
