Dismissal after vacatur

After vacating a judgment, a court may dismiss the accusatory instrument in the interest of justice under section 440.10(4).

People v. DeStefano (Andrew) · filed 2017-01-24(4)

Under the circumstances of this case, we vacate the judgments of conviction and, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, we dismiss the accusatory instruments ( see CPL 440.10 [4]).

Section 440.10(4) permits dismissal of an indictment after a conviction is vacated when the interest of justice warrants it.

People v. Flores · filed 2023-05-23(4)

Given that defendants have already served their eight-year sentences and have been deported, the indictments should be dismissed under CPL 440.10(4) ( see People v Wagstaffe , 120 AD3d 1361, 1364 [2d Dept 2014]), and as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice.

Due diligence

A court may not deny a CPL 440.10 motion for lack of due diligence when counsel reasonably explains the delay and the People show no prejudice.

People v. Maynard · filed 1992-05-28

We believe counsel’s explanation for the delay was reasonable and that County Court’s denial of the application based upon lack of due diligence was an abuse of discretion, particularly in view of the fact that the People demonstrated no prejudice because of the delay.

A defendant’s failure to exercise due diligence to preserve an adequate record before sentencing can support summary denial of a motion to vacate the judgment.

People v. Williams · filed 1993-02-18(3)(a)

Since defendant submitted only a hearsay affidavit in support of his motion to vacate the judgment (People v Salaam, 187 AD2d 363; cf , People v Smith, 187 AD2d 365), and failed to exercise sufficient due diligence to preserve an adequate record prior to sentence (CPL 440.10 [3] [a]), and in view of the court’s grant of leave to renew the application upon submission of an appropriate affidavit, an opportunity defendant did not pursue, we find no basis to reverse the order summarily denying the motion.

Section 440.10(3)(a) permits denial of a motion when the defendant unjustifiably delays bringing an alleged error to the court’s attention.

LANE, JOHNNIE, PEOPLE v · filed 2012-11-16(3)(a)

Finally, defendant’s motion was properly denied on the additional ground that he failed to set forth a reason for delaying filing his CPL 440.10 motion with the information regarding the allegedly false testimony. Due diligence in uncovering an error is required, and any unjustifiable delay is inexcusable (see CPL 440.10 [3] [a]). Defendant has provided no reason for the 14-year delay in bringing the allegedly false testimony to the court’s attention.

Section 440.10(3)(a) permits a court to deny a motion to vacate when the defendant could have placed the necessary facts on the record through due diligence.

People v. Stanley · filed 2020-12-17(3)(a)

In this regard, a court may deny such a motion where, as here, "the necessary facts, which do not appear on the record on direct appeal, could 'have readily been made to appear on the record'" through [*2]the exercise of due diligence by the defendant ( People v Howe , 150 AD3d 1321, 1323 [2017], quoting CPL 440.10 [3] [a]).

Effect of appeal waiver

Section 440.10 provides a remedy for a claim that counsel’s pretrial representation was ineffective even when a plea bargain waives appellate review of pretrial proceedings.

People v. Darling · filed 1992-05-07

We note that defendant’s waiver was directed at the remedy of an appeal and did not encompass a waiver of the constitutional right to meaningful representation by counsel. CPL 440.10 provides defendant with a remedy for asserting a violation of this right (see, People v Brown, 45 NY2d 852), but we will not consider that issue on this appeal.

CPL 440.10 permits a defendant to assert a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel despite a waiver of the right to appeal.

People v. Condon · filed 1992-06-11

As this court recently stated in People v Darling (supra), "defendant’s waiver was directed at the remedy of an appeal and did not encompass a waiver of the constitutional right to meaningful representation by counsel” (supra, at 952), which can appropriately be asserted in a CPL 440.10 motion (see, supra; see also, People v Brown, 45 NY2d 852).

Appeal from denial of motion

A CPL 440.10 motion to vacate a judgment is not reviewable on an appeal from the judgment of conviction.

MORRIS, ALLEN, PEOPLE v · filed 2012-04-20

Finally, defendant’s contention with respect to his motion to vacate the judgment and to set aside the sentence pursuant to CPL 440.10 and 440.20 is “not properly before us on appeal from the judgment of conviction” (People v Moore, 81 AD3d 1325, 1325, lv denied 16 NY3d 897).
Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

An order denying a CPL 440.10 motion to vacate a conviction is nonfinal for appellate purposes because the motion is part of the original criminal proceeding.

People v. Farrell · filed 1995-02-16

Substantively, we also reject appellants’ claim that a post-judgment motion to vacate pursuant to CPL 440.10 constitutes a habeas-corpus-like or other "special proceeding” categorization for purposes of analyzing jurisdictional implications of the constitutional appellate limitation.

A CPL 440.10 motion should not be summarily denied as to a claim supported by a former attorney’s affirmation describing testimony he could give.

People v. Wilson · filed 2004-10-05

The CPL 440.10 motion also alleged that trial counsel should have called defendant’s former attorney as a witness in support of defendant’s claim that the lineup also violated defendant’s right to counsel. We find that it was error to summarily deny this branch of the motion (see People v Jenkins, 68 NY2d 896 [1986]), which was supported by an affirmation from the former attorney which stated that prior to the Wade hearing he had informed trial counsel that he was willing and able to give specific testimony supporting defendant’s claim that his right to counsel had attached at the lineup.

Section 440.10 permits denial of a motion that repeats rejected arguments, raises issues on direct appeal, or relies on speculative claims contradicted by the record.

People v. Bost · filed 2007-04-19

We also find no error in the denial of his CPL 440.10 motion since his assertions in such motion repeated previously considered and denied arguments, reiterated issues raised on direct appeal, and were speculative and contradicted by proof in the record (see generally People v Glanda, 18 AD3d 956, 960-961 [2005], lv denied 6 NY3d 754 [2005]; People v Varno, 297 AD2d 873, 874 [2002], lv denied 99 NY2d 565 [2002]; People v Turcotte, 252 AD2d 818, 820-821 [1998], lv denied 92 NY2d 1054 [1999]).

Actual prejudice

Section 440.10(1)(f) requires a defendant seeking to vacate a conviction because former defense counsel joined the prosecutor’s office to demonstrate actual prejudice.

People v. English · filed 1995-05-30(1)(f)

The trial court properly denied the defendant’s motion on the ground that he failed to demonstrate actual prejudice (see, CPL 440.10 [1] [f]; see generally, People v Keeton, 74 NY2d 903, 904; Matter of Schumer v Holtzman, 60 NY2d 46, 55; cf., People v Shinkle, 51 NY2d 417).

A de facto CPL 440.10 motion raising an alleged Rosario violation based on matter outside the record requires a showing of prejudice.

People v. Wolf · filed 2001-06-05

Since the alleged error was not one “appearing in the record,” defendant’s motion was improperly brought pursuant to CPL 330.30 (1), and was, at best, a de facto CPL 440.10 motion (see, People v Kronberg, 243 AD2d 132, 135, 152, lv denied 92 NY2d 880; People v Herrington, 194 AD2d 379, lv denied 82 NY2d 755). Accordingly, it would be necessary for defendant to demonstrate prejudice (see, People v Machado, 90 NY2d 187, 192).

A defendant raising a Rosario disclosure claim through a de facto CPL 440.10 motion bears the burden of demonstrating prejudice.

People v. Wolf · filed 2002-05-07

Therefore, we agree with the Appellate Division that the application was “at best, a de facto CPL 440.10 motion” (284 AD2d at 104). As such, defendant had the burden of demonstrating prejudice (see People v Machado, 90 NY2d 187, 192) and failed to do so here.

Ineffective assistance of appellate counsel

Failure to seek relief under CPL 440.10 can leave the record inadequate to review a claim of trial counsel’s tactical ineffectiveness.

People v. Shaw · filed 1995-11-28

By not seeking relief pursuant to CPL 440.10, defendant has failed to present a record adequate to review trial counsel’s purported tactical ineffectiveness (People v Love, 57 NY2d 998, 1000; People v Brown, 45 NY2d 852, 854).

Otero’s ineffective assistance of trial counsel motions should have been raised by a CPL § 440.10 collateral attack in the trial court. The claim, therefore, was not properly raised in state court and hence is not exhausted.
