People ex rel. Mena v. Brennan
Citations: 223 A.D.2d 513; 637 N.Y.S.2d 106; 1996 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 744
Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York; January 29, 1996; New York; State Appellate Court
Judgment from the Supreme Court of New York County, presided by Justice Laura Drager, issued on October 27, 1995, denies the petitioner's request for a writ of habeas corpus. The court unanimously affirmed the denial, stating that habeas corpus relief is not applicable for claims regarding a violation of the petitioner’s speedy trial rights under CPL 30.30 or for concerns related to the Grand Jury proceedings concerning laboratory analysis reports and the petitioner’s awareness of the drug weight. The ruling referenced precedents including *People ex rel. Chakwin v Warden* and *Matter of Kassebaum v al-Rahman*, confirming the court's stance. Justices Sullivan, Wallach, Ross, and Williams concurred with the decision.
