MEMORANDUM BY THE COURT.

Appeal by defendant from a judgment of the former Court of Special Sessions of the City of New York, County of Kings, rendered June 21, 1961, convicting him of a violation of section 600 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law (leaving the scene of an accident without reporting); sentencing him to pay a fine of $100 or, in the alternative, to serve 30 days in the City Prison; and revoking his license to operate a motor vehicle. The fine was paid.
