New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Sylvester Goode, Appellant
April 4, 199687 N.Y.2d 1045
Summary
The Court affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that the defendant failed to preserve a speedy‑trial argument challenging the People’s reliance on the unavailability and extraordinary‑circumstance exclusions of CPL 30.30(4)(c) and (g). The Court explained that preservation requires the defendant to specifically identify any legal or factual impediments to those exclusions.
