The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Steven Lashway, Appellant

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that the County Court did not abuse its discretion in refusing to adjourn the defendant's SORA reclassification hearing, and affirmed that a petitioner is entitled to access the Board's documents in a reclassification proceeding. The court emphasized the discretionary nature of adjournments and recognized a due‑process right to the materials, but found no prejudice warranting reversal.
