People v. Hogya

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Apr 1, 1982
56 N.Y.2d 602 (N.Y. 1982)

Opinion

Argued March 26, 1982

Decided April 1, 1982

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department, EDMUND J. WILOWSKI, J.

Lori Ehrlich and Brian Rappaport for appellant.

John J. Santucci, District Attorney ( William Schrager of counsel), for respondent.


MEMORANDUM.

The appeal should be dismissed.

Although the order of the Appellate Division recites that the reversal was "on the law", a review of the opinion rendered by that court reveals that its disposition was predicated, at least in part, upon a new factual finding concerning defendant's intent to abandon his jacket. Because reversal was not "on the law alone or upon the law and such facts which, but for the determination of law, would not have led to reversal" (CPL 450.90, subd 2, par [a]), this appeal does not lie.

Chief Judge COOKE and Judges JASEN, GABRIELLI, JONES, WACHTLER and FUCHSBERG concur; Judge MEYER taking no part.

Appeal dismissed in a memorandum.
