People v. Lombardigreen
ny · 1967 · cited in 2 New York opinions naming this issue, 1982–1984
2 sentences

1984In enacting the present statutes, the Legislature was fully cognizant of the problems caused by the broad language of the single crime provision of the former kidnapping statute (see Proposed New York Penal Law, NY Comm on Revision of Penal Law and Crim Code, Commission Staff Notes, former art 140 [1964]) and intended to alleviate the uncertainties inherent in application of the judicially created merger doctrine by establishing a precise definition of the crime of kidnapping in the first degree (see People v Lombardi, supra, p 271).

1982Prior to People v Cassidy ( 40 NY2d 763 ) it was uncertain whether the judicially created merger doctrine, first enunciated in People v Levy ( 15 NY2d 159 ) and followed in People v Lombardi ( 20 NY2d 266 ), survived the 1967 revision of the Penal Law’s kidnapping provisions (People v Rodriguez, 52 AD2d 781 ).

1994The defendant claims that his convictions for kidnapping in the second degree are barred by the judicially created merger doctrine which precludes a conviction for kidnapping based on acts which are integrally related but subordinate to another substantive crime (see, People v Gonzalez, 80 NY2d 146, 150 ; People v Geaslen, 54 NY2d 510 ; People v Salimi, 159 AD2d 658 ).

1994However, this claim is unpreserved for appellate review as a matter of law (see, People v Salimi, 159 AD2d 658 , supra; People v Wilsey, 99 AD2d 877 ), and we decline to exercise our discretion to review it in the interest of justice.
