The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Basil McCullough, Appellant

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's sentence of the appellant as a second felony offender, holding that the Ohio theft conviction does not count as a felony in New York, the federal forgery conviction does count and cannot be attacked by a New York coram nobis or habeas petition, and that a writ of error coram nobis is limited to the court that rendered the judgment.
