Opinion
June 22, 1990
Appeal from the Erie County Court, D'Amico, J.
Present — Denman, J.P., Boomer, Pine, Balio and Davis, JJ.
Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant's sole contention on this appeal is that his right to a speedy trial pursuant to CPL 30.30 was violated because the People failed to exercise due diligence in attempting to locate him (see, CPL 30.30 [c]). We conclude that the efforts by the police to locate defendant met the due diligence standard (see, People v. Hutchenson, 136 A.D.2d 737, 738, lv denied 71 N.Y.2d 897; People v. Taylor, 127 A.D.2d 714, lv denied 71 N.Y.2d 974) and that defendant's speedy trial motion was properly denied.
