CourtNew York Supreme Court

Frank S. Hogan, Dist. Atty., New York County (Laurence Leff, New York City, of counsel), for the People.

Anthony F. Marra and Harold Rothwax, New York City, for defendant.

IRWIN D. DAVIDSON, Justice.

The petitioner, James Paul Green, by writ of habeas corpus, petitions for his release. He urges that he is presently imprisoned and restrained in the New York City Prison at 125 White Street, Borough of Manhattan, City and County of New York.

There is also at hand a mandate from the Governor of the State of New York dated the 11th day of March, 1965 honoring the request of the Governor of the State of California for the surrender of James Paul Green, and his delivery to the correctional officer of the demanding State, California.

Petitioner urges that by reason of his detention beyond the ninety days set forth in the statute, supra, the Court has lost jurisdiction of his person. There is no authority for this contention. While it is true that any time beyond the ninety days aforementioned and prior to the...
