People v. O'Ramagreen
ny · 1991 · cited in 3 New York opinions naming this issue, 2017–2024
2 sentences

2024We agree with defendant that the record fails to reflect that the court provided defense counsel with meaningful notice of the substantive jury note ( see CPL 310.30; People v O'Rama , 78 NY2d 270, 277-278 [1991]).

2017We add that defendant’s reliance on CPL 310.30 is misplaced, inasmuch as the instructions before the recess to which defendant objects were not in response to a jury note or inquiry (see CPL 310.10 [2]; compare People v O’Rama, 78 NY2d 270, 276-277 [1991]; People v Morrison, 148 AD3d 1707, 1708 [2017]).

People v. Vazquezgreen
nyappdiv · 2016 · cited in 1 New York opinions naming this issue, 2017–2017
1 sentence

2017Defendant raises no specific criticisms regarding the instruction beyond a general claim that it was improperly coercive, which we reject, having previously concluded that the charge given “ ‘was balanced and neutral in tone, and . . . did not urge any dissenting jurors to abandon their convictions and acquiesce in the opinion of the other jurors, attempt to coerce or compel the jurors to reach a particular verdict, or shame the jurors into reaching a verdict’ ” (People v Anderson, 149 AD3d at 1415, quoting People v Cole *1458 man, 64 AD3d 787, 787 [2009], lv denied 13 NY3d 835 [2009]; see Peo

1 sentence

2016This Court recently held that, “where counsel has meaningful notice of the content of a jury note and of the trial court’s response, or lack thereof, to that note, the court’s alleged violation of the meaningful response requirement does not constitute a mode of proceedings error, and counsel is required to preserve any claim of error for appellate review” (People v Mack, 27 NY3d 534, 537 [2016], rearg denied 28 NY3d 944 [2016]).

People v. Tabb green
ny · 2009
2 sentences

2011In any event, unlike the situation in People v Tabb ( 13 NY3d 852 [2009]), there is record proof that warrants an inescapable inference that in an unrecorded conversation, defense counsel was apprised of the contents of the note (see e.g.

2010The trial court denied the motion without explanation, other than to say, “I don’t know what is in their mind.” On appeal, defendant contends that the trial court’s response to the jurors’ inquiry was a “mode of proceedings” error (see People v Tabb, 13 NY3d 852 [2009]) not requiring preservation and warranting reversal.

People v. Williams green
nyappdiv · 2011
1 sentence

2013The Appellate Division affirmed, holding that there was no reasonable view of the evidence to support an agency charge, and rejecting defendant’s claims that the trial court committed mode of proceedings errors by failing to disclose the contents of a jury note to defense counsel and by delegating to a court officer the task of delivering a message to the jury ( 88 AD3d 463 [2011]).

People v. King green
ny · 1984
1 sentence

1992We find that the court properly chose to respond to the jury’s request for information (see, CPL 310.30), and that its response to the jury note was not error (see, People v King, 61 NY2d 550 ).
