CourtNew York Court of Appeals Court of Appeals

Appeal from Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department, 4 A.D.2d 674, 164 N.Y.S.2d 188.

Defendant was charged by indictment with violation of Section 1841 of the Penal Law, Consol.Laws, c. 40, making it a misdemeanor for a public officer wilfully to neglect to perform a duty enjoined by law. The defendant made a motion to dismiss the indictment on inspection of the minutes of the Grand Jury of the Extraordinary Trial on Special Term of the Supreme Court of Suffolk County.

The Appellate Division granted the motion, dismissed the indictment, exonerated the bail, and held that in view of the fact that there was no proof to show that defendant wilfully neglected to perform a duty enjoined by law, testimony before the Grand Jury was insufficient to support the indictment.

The People of the State of New York appealed to the Court of Appeals, and the defendant made a motion to dismiss the appeal, and motion was made for enlargement of time.

Motion to dismiss appeal (People v. Hattemer) denied.

DESMOND and DYE, JJ., dissent and vote to dismiss the appeal.

Motion for enlargement of time (People v. Hattemer) granted and the case set down for argument during the November, 1957, session of this Court.
