Description

Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court at Special Term (Traficanti, J.), entered April 22, 1983 in Ulster County, which dismissed a writ of habeas corpus, in a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 70, after a hearing. Petitioner is presently serving a sentence of two to four years in prison upon his conviction after a jury trial of criminally negligent homicide. In his petition for a writ of habeas corpus, petitioner alleged that he was denied his right to appear and testify before the Grand Jury; that the evidence before the Grand Jury was legally insufficient to sustain the indictment; and that the trial court erred in charging criminally negligent homicide as a lesser included offense of murder in the second degree.

Frazier v Coombe, 87 A.D.2d 904; People ex rel. Jenkins v Smith, 58 A.D.2d 1033). Particularly is this so where a notice of appeal from the original conviction has, as here, been filed (People ex rel. Greenwaldt v Infante, 87 A.D.2d 904). Although the record does not establish whether petitioners appeal to the Appellate Division, Second Department, has been perfected, the fact remains that an opportunity to raise the present issues was available on appeal (People ex rel. Schaurer v Fogg, 92 A.D.2d 647). Further, the facts of this case do not [97 A.D.2d 667 Page 668]
