In a legal proceeding for permission to inspect the Grand Jury minutes related to the death of John Yetski, the petitioner appealed an order from the County Court of Nassau County dated April 1, 1980, which denied the application. The appellate court affirmed the County Court's decision, ruling that there was no abuse of discretion involved in the denial. The respondent, O’Donnell, was awarded $50 in costs and disbursements. The decision was supported by the precedent set in People v Di Napoli, 27 NY2d 229, with Judges Lazer, Gibbons, Gulotta, and Cohalan concurring.
