Legal Opinion

People ex rel. Adams v. Russi

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York

Decided June 17, 1996Published

1Opinion of the Court

As the petitioner has now been released from custody, he is not entitled to a writ of habeas corpus, and his appeal must be dismissed (see, People ex rel. DeFlumer v Strack, 85 NY2d 966; People ex rel. Dennard v Meloni, 74 NY2d 916; People ex rel. Burton v Russi, 199 AD2d 560). In any event, we note that the petitioner’s contentions on appeal are without merit. Rosenblatt, J. P., Sullivan, Copertino and Santucci, JJ., concur.
