See, People v. Stevenson, 17 N.Y.2d 682 , 269 N.Y.S.2d 458 , 216 N.E.2d 615 (1966); United States v. Tucker, 407 A.2d 1067 (Dist.Col.App., 1979); State of Minnesota v. Stangel, 284 N.W.2d 4, 5 (1979); State v. Alley, 594 S.W.2d 381 (1980, Tenn.) We would urge the same course here, noting the words of Justice Holmes speaking in the Path of the Law, 10 Harv.L.Rev. 457, 469 (1897): It is revolting to have no better reason for a rule of law than that so it was laid down in the time of Henry IV.

[*682] Order affirmed. In our opinion the trial court was correct in denying the writ of error coram, nobis until petitioner’s sanity is restored (see People v. Cossentino, 14 N Y 2d 750).

Concur: Chief Judge Desmond and Judges Van Voobhis, Bubke, Soileppi, Bebgan and Keating. Judge Fuld dissents in the following memorandum: I do not believe that a defendant’s mental condition disables him from seeking coram nobis relief. (Cf. Baxstrom v. Herold, 383 U. S. 107.) I would reverse and remand for a hearing on the merits.
