| Decision Date | 06 July 1995 |
| Parties | The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Johnny TAYLOR, a/k/a Dwight Giles, Defendant-Appellant. |
| Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
M. Dwyer, for respondent.
A.J. Mansky, for defendant-appellant.
Before MURPHY, P.J., and RUBIN, ROSS, ASCH and TOM, JJ.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Richard Carruthers, J.), rendered January 29, 1992, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of burglary in the second degree and possession of burglar's tools, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to concurrent terms of 7 1/2 to 15 years and 90 days, respectively, unanimously affirmed.
Defendant was not deprived of his right to a speedy trial pursuant to CPL 30.30 because of the People's late production of the grand jury minutes after defendant filed his omnibus motion seeking inspection of the grand jury minutes and dismissal of the indictment. After the court granted defendant's motion for inspection on July 19, 1990, the People did not produce the minutes until April 17, 1991. The People concede that 125 days were chargeable to them from the date of the filing of the felony complaint on March 15, 1990 through December 18, 1990, when they first declared their readiness.
Since the People cannot be "presently ready for trial ... where they fail to provide Grand Jury minutes necessary for resolution of defendant's motion to dismiss" (People v. England, 84 N.Y.2d 1, 4, 613 N.Y.S.2d 854, 636 N.E.2d 1387, citing People v. McKenna, 76 N.Y.2d 59, 64, 556 N.Y.S.2d 514, 555 N.E.2d 911), their assertions of readiness from December 18, 1990 until April 17, 1991 were not valid. However, adjournments which were otherwise excludable pursuant to CPL 30.30[4] are not chargeable to the People despite their failure to produce the transcripts (People v. Felder, 182 A.D.2d 1065, 583 N.Y.S.2d 697, lv. denied 80 N.Y.2d 903, 588 N.Y.S.2d 828, 602 N.E.2d 236), including the period December 18, 1990 through January 9, 1991, during which time defendant was in Onondaga County for trial (CPL 30.30[4][a]; the period January 9 through February 13 and April 3 through May 1, 1991, as specifically requested by the defense (CPL 30.30[4][b]; People v. Celestino, 201 A.D.2d 91, 95-96, 615 N.Y.S.2d 346); and the period March 5 through April 3, 1991, occasioned by defendant's lack of counsel through no fault of the court (CPL 30.30[4][f]; People v. Rodriguez, 212 A.D.2d...
