People v. Crossen

OPINION OF THE COURT

Seymour Rotker, J.

The defendant pro se moves for an order to set aside his July 13, 1983 conviction for attempted kidnapping in the second degree committed in Queens County and to dismiss the indictment.

The defendant alleges he appeared before Honorable Bruce Levin in Dade County Court, Florida, on April 15, 1982 where the Judge accepted his signing of extradition papers and, therefore, the County of Queens indictment No. 1206/82 must be dismissed as he was not brought to trial within the 180-day period mandated by CPL 580.20, article III (Agreement on Detainers).
