New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York, Appellant v. Anthony Kirkland, Respondent

December 20, 199689 N.Y.2d 903

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division’s order vacating the convictions and remanded the case for further proceedings. The Court held that a deficiency in the People’s CPL 710.30 notice is irrelevant when the defendant moves to suppress identification testimony and receives a full hearing on the identification procedure.
