People v. Eames

New York Court of Sessions

Decided November 21, 1956

New York Court of Sessions · decided 1956-11-21

Decided 1956-11-21

Thomas Dickens, J.

¶1The defendant in this case has brought a motion for writ of error coram nobis.

¶2Defendant contends in his moving affidavit that the judgment of conviction of March 23, 1945, must be declared null and void because of an alleged interruption of imprisonment in violation of section 2188 of the Penal Law.

¶3Defendant relies on People ex rel. Rainone v. Murphy (1 N Y2d 367).

¶4In the instant case, although it appears there was an improper interruption of imprisonment in violation of section 2188 of the Penal Law, such an interruption does not void ab initio the judgment of conviction.

¶5A prior felony conviction in which there has been an improper interruption is notwithstanding valid as a basis for sentence of a second felony offender.

¶6The application is denied.

¶7The District Attorney is directed to enter an order in conformance with the decision herein and to forward a certified copy to defendant.
