2014The court also properly denied defense counsel’s request to order a midtrial CPL article 730 competency examination, since defendant’s competency had previously been established before the commencement of trial, and there had been no change in circumstances that would have required the court to order yet another examination (see People v Campos, 93 AD3d 581, 583 [1st Dept 2012], lv denied 19 NY3d 971 [2012]).

People v. Gonzalez green
ny · 1986

2016The court properly denied defense counsel’s request for a missing witness instruction with regard to the guard, who was no longer employed by the security company, since he was neither available to the People nor within their control for purposes of a missing witness instruction (see People v Gonzalez, 68 NY2d 424 [1986]).

1993Counsel’s request was untimely and lacked sufficient specificity (People v Gonzalez, 68 NY2d 424, 427-428 ).

People v. Toussaint green
nyappdiv · 2010
1 sentence

2010Contrary to the contention of defendant, the court properly denied his challenge for cause with respect to a prospective juror inasmuch as his contention that the prospective juror was not truthful during voir dire is based on mere speculation (see People v Toussaint, 74 AD3d 846 [2010]).

People v. Walker green
ny · 1994
1 sentence

2000The court’s Sandoval ruling, permitting inquiry into the underlying facts of defendant’s youthful offender adjudication for robbery and his conviction for escape but barring inquiry as to his prior drug convictions, was a proper exercise of discretion (see, People v Walker, 83 NY2d 455, 459 ).

People v. Johnson green
nyappdiv · 1999

1996Defendant’s claim that the court simply dismissed out of hand his pro se pretrial motion, in violation of People v Renaud ( 145 AD2d 367, 369-370 , appeal dismissed 74 NY2d 734 ), is plainly refuted by the record, which reveals that the court, acting well within its authority (see, People v Hunter, 169 AD2d 538 , lv denied 77 NY2d 907 ), advised defense counsel that the motion would be considered only if she took the motion, put it into proper form and submitted it directly, which she failed to do.
