People v. Holcombe
Decision Date | 09 April 1970 |
Citation | 34 A.D.2d 728,311 N.Y.S.2d 796 |
Parties | PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent v. Alfred D. HOLCOMBE, Appellant. |
Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Alfred D. Holcombe, pro se.
Frederick M. Hunt, Dundee, for respondent.
Before GOLDMAN, P.J., and WITMER, GABRIELLI, MOULE and BASTOW, JJ.
Appellant specifically waived assignment of counsel upon this appeal from his conviction and served a substantial brief pro se. Notwithstanding communications to the District Attorney of Yates County by this court inquiring when a brief would be filed, no brief was submitted and no argument was made by him. As we wrote in People v. Wright, 22 A.D.2d 754, 253 N.Y.S.2d 653, 654, See also, People v. Houston, 31 A.D.2d 777, 297 N.Y.S.2d 349. This responsibility and duty of the District Attorney is in no way diminished or excused by reason of the fact that we have affirmed the conviction after a careful consideration of the record and the law. The defendant's guilty plea upon all the facts in this case justified the imposition of the sentence he received.
Judgment unanimously affirmed.
