DECISION & JUDGMENT

Writ of habeas corpus to release Steven Silvers on his own recognizance upon Nassau County Docket Nos. CR007650–20NA, CR007651–20NA.

ADJUDGED that the writ is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.

The petitioner has not demonstrated that the detention of Steven Silvers pursuant to a felony complaint is illegal (see CPLR 7002[a], 7010[a] ; People ex rel. DeLia v. Munsey, 26 N.Y.3d 124, 127–128, 20 N.Y.S.3d 304, 41 N.E.3d 1119 ). Under the circumstances of this case, the People demonstrated good cause for the delay in conducting a preliminary hearing until July 13, 2020, or obtaining an indictment (see CPL 180.80[3] ; Executive Order [Cuomo] No. 202.28).
