Supreme Court of New Jersey

State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Dennis Priester, Defendant-Respondent

May 7, 198599 N.J. 123

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's denial of release under Rule 3:21-10(b)(2) and held that the rule may be used only to release a prisoner, not to reduce a sentence, thereby reversing the Appellate Division's amendment of the parole ineligibility term.
