People ex Rel. Mello v. McDonnell

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Apr 28, 1953
281 App. Div. 970 (N.Y. App. Div. 1953)

Opinion

April 28, 1953.

Present — Peck, P.J., Glennon, Dore, Van Voorhis and Bergan, JJ.


Order, dismissing the writ of habeas corpus and remanding the relator to the New York City Penitentiary, unanimously affirmed on the ground that the relator is under a sentence pronounced by the County Court having competent jurisdiction and its terms have not expired. However, as the County Court did not state that the term imposed was to be consecutive, the presumption that the term was concurrent with the term of the prior conviction controls ( People ex rel. Gerbino v. Ashworth, 267 App. Div. 579, 581).
