People v. Purrell
Citations: 224 A.D.2d 454; 637 N.Y.S.2d 943; 1996 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 914
Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York; February 4, 1996; New York; State Appellate Court
An appeal was filed by the defendant challenging a judgment from the Supreme Court, Kings County, which convicted him of two counts of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, following a jury verdict. Assigned counsel submitted an Anders brief seeking to be relieved from the case. The court granted this motion, relieving Kleon C. Andreadis as attorney for the defendant and assigning J. Mitchell Rosenberg as new counsel. The court ordered that the People provide the new counsel with a copy of the stenographic minutes and set deadlines for the filing of briefs: the defendant's counsel must file a brief within 90 days, and the People's brief is due within 120 days. The court noted its independent review identified potential arguable issues regarding hearsay testimony and comments related to a $10 bill. The decision and order were concurred by Mangano, P.J., Thompson, Altman, and Friedmann, JJ.
