144 A.D.2d 710 (N.Y. App. Div. 1988)

Opinion

November 28, 1988

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Friedmann, J.).


Ordered that the order is affirmed.

Under the particular circumstances of this case (see, People v Rickert, 58 N.Y.2d 122), we find that the dismissal of two counts of the indictment in the interest of justice (CPL 210.20, 210.40 Crim. Proc.) was an appropriate exercise of discretion (see, People v. Edwin C., 82 Misc.2d 245) for the reasons stated by Justice Friedmann in the Supreme Court, Queens County. Weinstein, J.P., Bracken, Kunzeman and Rubin, JJ., concur.
