135 A.D.2d 721

Williams v. Scully

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York · decided 1987-12-21

Decided 1987-12-21

¶1— In a habeas corpus proceeding, the petitioner appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Dutchess County (Braatz, J.), dated August 1, 1985, which dismissed the proceeding.

¶2Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

¶3Generally, claims which were or could have been reviewed on direct appeal from a judgment of conviction are not subject to review by habeas corpus (see, People ex rel. Phifer v Scully, 107 AD2d 729). Nor do the facts of this case indicate a violation of the petitioner’s fundamental constitutional rights such as to warrant a departure from traditional orderly procedure (cf., Stone v Powell, 428 US 465; People ex rel. Keitt v McMann, 18 NY2d 257). Mangano, J. P., Brown, Lawrence, Weinstein and Kunzeman, JJ., concur.
