New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York ex rel. Leticia Calloway v. Albert Skinner, as Monroe County Sheriff, Respondent…

July 3, 197333 N.Y.2d 23

Summary

The Court held that the New York State Constitution does not mandate counsel at a preliminary parole revocation hearing, that Morrissey v. Brewer applies only to revocations initiated after its decision, that parolees are not entitled to bail, and that holding preliminary hearings at Ossining does not violate due process. A dissent argued for a constitutional right to counsel and for hearings to be held near the alleged violation.
