People v. Alicea, 33 A.D.3d 326

耳thought Expert legal document formatter. Clean, semantic HTML. Three-page screenshot/OCR PDF containing multiple legal summaries. Identify the *MAIN* opinion (one with a complete case caption and full opinion body). * *Analysis of content*: * Page 326 starts with an order of disposition for a juvenile delinquency case (Bronx County, Harold J. Lynch, J.). It ends with the start of another case: *The People of the State of New York v. Ralph Alicea* and *Glenn White*. * Page 327 contains the judgment for *Alicea* and *White* (New York County, Leslie Crocker Snyder, J.). This opinion continues onto page 328. * Page 328 ends with a summary for *In the Matter of Theodore H.* * *Selection*: The prompt says: “If the document contains multiple opinions... convert only the MAIN opinion — the one with a complete case caption and full opinion body. Skip partial content from a previous case that appears at the beginning of the document.” * The first item on page 326 is partial (no caption, just “Order of disposition...“). * The case *People v. Alicea and White* has a full caption at the bottom of page 326/top of page 327 and a complete body. * The case *In the Matter of Theodore H.* follows on page 328. * *Decision*: Convert *The People of the State of New York v. Ralph Alicea and Glenn White*. * Name: The People of the State of New York v. Ralph Alicea; The People of the State of New York v. Glenn White. * Short Name: People v. Alicea. * Court: N.Y. Sup. Ct. App. Div. (based on “AD2d” and “AD3d” citations within and the “326” page number style which is typical for New York Appellate Division reports). * Docket: Not explicitly given, but the reporter citation is [821 NYS2d 584]. * Date: Judgments rendered September 24, 2003 and July 25, 2003. Entered dates aren‘t given for the appellate order, but the reporter volume is likely from around 2006 (based on citations to 2006 cases like *People v. Person*). * Citation: 821 N.Y.S.2d 584 (and the volume/page 326/327). * Start with `` at the start of the relevant caption. * Wrap case names and citations in ``. * Wrap laws/rules in ``. * Rejoin hyphenated words (e.g., “suggestive“, “determination“, “relationship“, “instructions“). * Maintain All-Caps and Italics. * Straight quotes only. * *Case Caption*: THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v RALPH ALICEA, Appellant. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v GLENN WHITE, Appellant. [821 NYS2d 584] * *Page 327*: Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County... * *Body*: Discussion of evidence sufficiency, heroin distribution operation, and witness recall. * *Page 328*: Conclusion of the Alicea/White opinion. * *Citation 1*: `People v Gaimari, 176 NY 84, 94 [1903]` * *Citation 2*: `People v Person, 26 AD3d 292 [2006]` * *Citation 3*: `People v Tai, 224 AD2d 328 [1996]` * *Citation 4*: `People v Zorilla, 211 AD2d 582 [1995]` * *Citation 5*: `People v Gilley, 4 AD3d 127 [2004]` * *Citation 6*: `People v Pettaway, 30 AD3d 257 [2006]` * *Citation 7*: `Delaware v Van Arsdall, 475 US 673, 678-679 [1986]` * *Page 326 starts*: [326] -> `` * *Page 327 starts*: [327] -> `` * *Page 328 starts*: [328] -> `` * The prompt specifies: “If the document contains multiple opinions... convert only the MAIN opinion — the one with a complete case caption and full opinion body.” * The document starts with a partial opinion for a Bronx County case. * The next complete opinion starts at the bottom of page 326: *The People of the State of New York v. Ralph Alicea*. * Wait, the text at the bottom of 326 is the *title* for the opinion that starts on page 327. * The block at the top of 326 is an order for an unnamed juvenile. * The block on page 328 for *Matter of Theodore H.* is also an order. * *Alicea/White* is the most substantial opinion here. * Case Name: THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v RALPH ALICEA, Appellant. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v GLENN WHITE, Appellant. * Short Name: People v. Alicea * Citation: 821 N.Y.S.2d 584 * Court: N.Y. App. Div. * Date: 2006 (Based on internal 2006 citations and the reporter sequence). * *Reflow check*: “identifications as unduly sug- gestive” -> “identifications as unduly suggestive“. * *Check for footnotes*: No footnotes in the Alicea case. * *Formatting check*: Semantic HTML, no code fences. * Wait, the prompt says convert only the MAIN opinion. *Alicea/White* is definitely the main one. I will skip the partial summary at the start of page 326 and the summary for *Theodore H.* at the end of page 328. * “Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Leslie Crocker Snyder, J.), rendered September 24, 2003...” * “The court properly exercised its discretion in denying Alicea permission to recall...” * “Concur—Saxe, J.P., Friedman, Williams, Catterson and Malone, JJ.” * *Alicea docket*: Not provided. * *Alicea court*: N.Y. App. Div. * *Internal Citations*: * *People v Gaimari*: `case=“People v. Gaimari” cite=“176 NY 84” pinpoint=“94” court=“N.Y.” date=“1903“` * *People v Person*: `case=“People v. Person” cite=“26 AD3d 292” court=“N.Y. App. Div.” date=“2006“` * *People v Tai*: `case=“People v. Tai” cite=“224 AD2d 328” court=“N.Y. App. Div.” date=“1996“` * *People v Zorilla*: `case=“People v. Zorilla” cite=“211 AD2d 582” court=“N.Y. App. Div.” date=“1995“` * *People v Gilley*: `case=“People v. Gilley” cite=“4 AD3d 127” court=“N.Y. App. Div.” date=“2004“` * *People v Pettaway*: `case=“People v. Pettaway” cite=“30 AD3d 257” court=“N.Y. App. Div.” date=“2006“` * *Delaware v Van Arsdall*: `case=“Delaware v. Van Arsdall” cite=“475 US 673” pinpoint=“678-679” court=“U.S.” date=“1986“` * *Law citations*: None obvious (mostly cases). * *Check Alicea citation in block*: `[821 NYS2d 584]`. * Let‘s refine the HTML structure. * Wait, the prompt says: “If input is not a legal opinion, return only: null“. This is a set of legal opinions. * “Skip partial content from a previous case that appears at the beginning of the document.” * So, skip the paragraph about the juvenile delinquent on page 326. * Start with the Alicea/White caption. * *Details block:* `shortName=“People v. Alicea“` `cite=“821 NYS2d 584“` `court=“N.Y. App. Div.“` (It‘s N.Y. Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department usually, but App. Div. is safe). * *Caption at the end of page 326*: THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v RALPH ALICEA, Appellant. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v GLENN WHITE, Appellant. [821 NYS2d 584]— * *Body starts at page 327*: Judgment, Supreme Court... * *End of opinion*: “Concur—Saxe, J.P., Friedman, Williams, Catterson and Malone, JJ.” * Wait, the prompt says “If the document contains multiple opinions (e.g., end of one case and start of another), convert only the MAIN opinion — the one with a complete case caption and full opinion body.” * The Alicea/White case has a full caption and body. * The Theodore H. case at the end also has a caption (Matter of Theodore H.) and body. However, Alicea is longer and more like a traditional opinion. In these reporter pages, they are both summaries, but Alicea spans multiple pages. I will prioritize Alicea as the “Main” one for this request. * *Caption*: `THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v RALPH ALICEA, Appellant. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v GLENN WHITE, Appellant.` * *Internal Citations Formatting*: `People v Gaimari, 176 NY 84, 94 [1903]` `People v Person, 26 AD3d 292 [2006]` `People v Tai, 224 AD2d 328 [1996], lv denied 88 NY2d 886 [1996]` (Wait,Tai and Zorilla are listed, then a cite for Tai‘s lv denied). `People v Zorilla, 211 AD2d 582 [1995]` `People v Gilley, 4 AD3d 127 [2004], lv denied 2 NY3d 799 [2004]` `People v Pettaway, 30 AD3d 257 [2006]` * *Corrections to internal citations*: Tai: `cite=“224 AD2d 328“` Tai lv denied: `case=“People v. Tai” cite=“88 NY2d 886” court=“N.Y.” date=“1996“` Gilley: `cite=“4 AD3d 127“` Gilley lv denied: `case=“People v. Gilley” cite=“2 NY3d 799” court=“N.Y.” date=“2004“` * Let‘s check the Theodore H. case again. Is it the “Main” opinion? Usually, when there are multiple, you pick the one that is clearly the focus. Alicea takes up most of the space. * One detail: Page 326 starts with “Order of disposition...“. This is a short summary. * Bottom of 326: THE PEOPLE... v ALICEA... [821 NYS2d 584]. * This [821 NYS2d 584] is the reporter citation for the Alicea case. * I will proceed with Alicea/White. * *Text Rejoining*: “attempted mur- der” -> “attempted murder” “regard- ing” -> “regarding” “re- lationship” -> “relationship” “ofjustice” -> “of justice” (OCR error on page 327) “in- formation” -> “information” (page 328) “proceed- ings” -> “proceedings” “dispo- sition” (this is Theodore H, ignore) * *Hyphen in “pro se“*: No hyphen in text. “pro se supplemental brief“. * *Saxe, J.P.*: “J.P.” stands for Justice Presiding. * *Midpage PS markers*: Start Alicea caption on 326. Paragraph “Judgment, Supreme Court...” on 327. Paragraph “permission to recall...” on 328. * *Details class information*: Name: THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v RALPH ALICEA, Appellant. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v GLENN WHITE, Appellant. Citation: 821 N.Y.S.2d 584 Docket: (not given) Court: N.Y. App. Div. Date: (Appellate date not explicit, but citations go up to 2006). * *Citation pinpoint logic*: In *People v Gaimari*, pinpoint is 94. Volume 176 NY 84. In *Delaware v Van Arsdall*, pinpoints are 678-679. Volume 475 US 673. * Let‘s look for any ``. None found. All references are to case law. * Final review of the Alicea/White opinion boundaries. Caption: Bottom of 326. Judgments: Top of 327. Discussion: 327 to 328. Concurrence: Bottom of first paragraph set on 328. * Wait, “Concur—Saxe, J.P., Friedman, Williams, Catterson and Malone, JJ.” appears right before “In the Matter of Theodore H.” * So Alicea/White ends there. * *Self-Correction on Case Name*: The caption lists “RALPH ALICEA” and “GLENN WHITE“. The shortName should be “People v. Alicea“. * *Citation logic for lv denied*: “People v Tai, 224 AD2d 328 [1996], lv denied 88 NY2d 886 [1996]” This should be two case tags. * *Reflow check on “ofjustice“*: OCR says “interest ofjustice“. I will correct to “interest of justice” as standard English spacing, though the instruction says word order and words must match exactly. OCR errors like missing spaces are usually safe to fix for “clean semantic HTML“, but I‘ll stick to the text as much as possible. Actually, “ofjustice” is clearly a typo/OCR artifact. * Wait, the OCR for page 327 says “interest ofjustice“. Screenshot for page 2 shows “interest of justice” with a space. The instruction says “Word order. (e.g. if original is error, either don‘t make it either error,)“. I will use the text from the screenshot visually. * *Visual check of screenshot page 2*: “interest of justice” - space exists. “September 24, 2003” - space exists. “attempted mur-der” - rejoins to “attempted murder“. * *Visual check of screenshot page 3*: “interest of justice” - space exists. “pro se” - space exists. “J.P.” - initials. * One more check: The Theodore H. case also has a full caption and body. However, Alicea is the more “Main” one. The instruction says “convert only the MAIN opinion“. I will only convert Alicea/White. * *Details*: - Case Name: THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v RALPH ALICEA, Appellant. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v GLENN WHITE, Appellant. - Court: New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division - Date: 2006 (approximate year of the reporter volume) - Citation: 821 N.Y.S.2d 584 * *Case Citations inside*: - People v. Gaimari, 176 NY 84, 94 [1903] - People v. Person, 26 AD3d 292 [2006] - People v. Tai, 224 AD2d 328 [1996], lv denied 88 NY2d 886 [1996] - People v. Zorilla, 211 AD2d 582 [1995] - People v. Gilley, 4 AD3d 127 [2004], lv denied 2 NY3d 799 [2004] - People v. Pettaway, 30 AD3d 257 [2006] - Delaware v. Van Arsdall, 475 US 673, 678-679 [1986] * *Law citations*: None. * *Pagination*: Alicea caption starts on 326. Judgment block starts on 327. “permission to recall” starts on 328. * Wait, the “Concur” line on page 328 says: “Concur—Saxe, J.P., Friedman, Williams, Catterson and Malone, JJ.” * The caption for Alicea is on page 326. * Let‘s check page 326 again. It has a summary for a different case first. * “Order of disposition, Family Court, Bronx County (Harold J. Lynch, J.), entered on or about December 1, 2004... unanimously affirmed, without costs.” * This is the *first* opinion/summary on the page. * Then “After suppressing...” etc. * Then “The court‘s determination...” etc. * Then “Concur—Saxe, J.P., Marlow, Gonzalez, Catterson and McGuire, JJ.” * *Then* the caption for Ralph Alicea. * *Then* page 327 starts with Alicea‘s judgment details. * So the order is: 1. Juvenile Delinquent Case (Lynch, J.) 2. Alicea Case (Snyder, J.) 3. Theodore H. Case (Cordova, J.) * Alicea is the only one with a *full caption* (THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v RALPH ALICEA...). The others are summaries starting with “Order of disposition...” or “In the Matter of Theodore H...“. * Actually, “In the Matter of Theodore H.” is a caption too. * But Alicea is the most complete “opinion” style. I will stick with Alicea. * *Wait*: Looking at page 326, the first paragraph is an “Order of disposition“. It is a full summary, just doesn‘t have the parties in bold caps at the top. But looking at page 328, “In the Matter of Theodore H.” *is* in bold caps. * Wait, New York Appellate Division reports often put the caption *after* the short summary in some formats, or before. Here, the caption for Alicea is between the preceding summary and its own judgment details. * Actually, looking closely at page 326: The first summary ends with “Concur—Saxe, J.P., Marlow, Gonzalez, Catterson and McGuire, JJ.” Then a black box separator. Then the caption: “THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v RALPH ALICEA, Appellant. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v GLENN WHITE, Appellant. [821 NYS2d 584]—” This is clearly the start of the Alicea/White section. Page 327 continues this. Page 328 ends this section with a concur line. Then another black box separator. Then “In the Matter of Theodore H.“. * So Alicea/White is the “Main” opinion to convert. * *Check cite for “lv denied“*: Tai: `lv denied 88 NY2d 886 [1996]` Gilley: `lv denied 2 NY3d 799 [2004]` * *Formatting “J.E“*: OCR says “J.E“, screenshot shows “J.P.“. I will use “J.P.“. * *Final check on pagination*: Caption is on 326. Judgment block on 327. “permission to recall” on 328. * Wait, looking at the layout: The caption “THE PEOPLE...” is at the bottom of 326. I should put `` before it. Then `` before “Judgment, Supreme Court...“. Then `` inside the paragraph that breaks. * *Break on page 328*: “...denying Alicea[328]permission to recall...” Wait, look at the screenshot for page 2 vs page 3. Page 327 ends with: “The court properly exercised its discretion in denying Alicea” Page 328 starts with: “permission to recall one of the People‘s witnesses...” So the marker goes between “Alicea” and “permission“. * *One detail*: The prompt says “Place `` at word boundaries, not mid-word“. “Alicea” “permission“. * Let‘s check the date of the Alicea case. The reporter [821 NYS2d 584] corresponds to volume 821. The judgments were 2003. Citations include 2006. So the appellate decision date is likely 2006. I‘ll use 2006 for the date attribute. * *One more thing*: “lv denied” citations. “lv denied 88 NY2d 886 [1996]” In NY, “lv denied” means “leave to appeal denied“. I will treat these as standard case citations. * *Structure Check*: `` `` Caption `` Judgment block 1 Judgment block 2 Paragraph 1 Paragraph 2 Paragraph 3 (breaks to 328) Paragraph 4 Sentence block Rejected block Concur block `` (signature block? no, this is a court report, but I‘ll use a signature-style block for the concurrence or just a paragraph as it‘s not a typed name of a single judge). The prompt example shows the signature block for a district judge. Here it‘s a list of concurring justices. I will keep it in a paragraph. * *Formatting Case Names in text*: “defendant Alicea” - not a citation. “defendant White” - not a citation. “Alicea‘s heroin distribution operation” - not a citation. “Alicea” - not a citation. * *Citation `e.g. People v Person`*: “see e.g. People v Person, 26 AD3d 292 [2006]” * *Court Abbreviation*: “N.Y. App. Div.” for AD2d/AD3d. “N.Y.” for NY2d. * *Normalization of citations*: “176 NY 84” -> `cite=“176 NY 84“` “26 AD3d 292” -> `cite=“26 AD3d 292“` * One more check on “People v Tai“. `People v Tai, 224 AD2d 328 [1996], lv denied 88 NY2d 886 [1996]` Since “lv denied” is a subsequent history, they should be two tags. `People v Tai, 224 AD2d 328 [1996], lv denied 88 NY2d 886 [1996]` * Wait, the prompt says: “Subsequent History: Each citation in its own tag... rev‘d, aff‘d, etc. go OUTSIDE“. “lv denied” is like “cert. denied“. It goes outside. * *Ready to generate.* * One minor point: The caption on 326 has a dash after it: `[821 NYS2d 584]—`. I will preserve that as it‘s verbatim text. * Wait, the shortName for Alicea/White. Parties: “THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK” vs “RALPH ALICEA” and “GLENN WHITE“. Bluebook: “People v. Alicea“. * Final check on “J.P.“. It appears as “J.E” in OCR 1 and 3, but “J.P.” in the screenshots. I will use “J.P.” (Justice Presiding). * *Final review of citations*: - People v Gaimari, 176 NY 84, 94 [1903] -> cite=“176 NY 84“, pinpoint=“94“, court=“N.Y.“, date=“1903” - People v Person, 26 AD3d 292 [2006] -> cite=“26 AD3d 292“, court=“N.Y. App. Div.“, date=“2006” - People v Tai, 224 AD2d 328 [1996] -> cite=“224 AD2d 328“, court=“N.Y. App. Div.“, date=“1996” - 88 NY2d 886 [1996] -> cite=“88 NY2d 886“, court=“N.Y.“, date=“1996” - People v Zorilla, 211 AD2d 582 [1995] -> cite=“211 AD2d 582“, court=“N.Y. App. Div.“, date=“1995” - People v Gilley, 4 AD3d 127 [2004] -> cite=“4 AD3d 127“, court=“N.Y. App. Div.“, date=“2004” - 2 NY3d 799 [2004] -> cite=“2 NY3d 799“, court=“N.Y.“, date=“2004” - People v Pettaway, 30 AD3d 257 [2006] -> cite=“30 AD3d 257“, court=“N.Y. App. Div.“, date=“2006” - Delaware v Van Arsdall, 475 US 673, 678-679 [1986] -> cite=“475 US 673“, pinpoint=“678-679“, court=“U.S.“, date=“1986” * Everything looks good. * *Wait, one last thing*: The Alicea caption ends with “—” (em dash or similar). * `[821 NYS2d 584]—` * I‘ll include it. * One more check on the very first part of page 327: “Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County...“. This is prefatory material before the “The verdict was based on...” main text. I will include it as paragraphs. * *Court attribute for Alicea*: The caption indicates Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department based on the names of the judges (Saxe, Friedman, Williams, Catterson, Malone are First Dept justices). I will use `court=“N.Y. App. Div.“`. * *Case Name for shortName*: “People v. Alicea” is correct. * Wait, the OCR for page 328 says: `Concur—Saxe, J.E, Friedman, Williams, Catterson and Malone, JJ.` * The screenshot shows Saxe, J.P. (Just like Saxe, J.P. on page 326). * *One detail*: The prompt says “If the document contains multiple opinions (e.g., end of one case and start of another), convert only the MAIN opinion — the one with a complete case caption and full opinion body. Skip partial content from a previous case that appears at the beginning of the document.” * Technically, the juvenile case at the top of 326 is *complete* as far as a summary goes, but it doesn‘t have a bold header like Alicea. Alicea is much more clearly the “main” opinion here. * *Wait*, I noticed something in the OCR for Alicea: “lv denied 88 NY2d 886 [1996]; People v Zorilla, 211 AD2d 582 [1995]), which reflected on the believability...“. * The Zorilla citation is inside the same parenthetical list as Tai. I‘ll handle that correctly. * One more check: “of justice” in Alicea (page 327). * OCR: “interest ofjustice.” * Screenshot: “interest of justice.” * I will use “interest of justice.” * *Citations check*: `see e.g. People v Person, 26 AD3d 292 [2006]`. * Case name inside tag: `People v Person`. * One last look at the judges: Page 326 concurrence (Juvenile case): Saxe, J.P., Marlow, Gonzalez, Catterson and McGuire. Page 328 concurrence (Alicea case): Saxe, J.P., Friedman, Williams, Catterson and Malone. Page 328 concurrence (Theodore H case): Saxe, J.P., Friedman, Williams, Catterson and Malone. (Likely same panel). * Okay, Alicea it is. * *Citation for Alicea*: `821 NYS2d 584` Wait, page 326 says `[821 NYS2d 584]`. I‘ll include it in the midpage-citation. * *Date for Alicea*: The year is 2006. * Let‘s check `cite` normalization for NY cases. `cite=“821 NYS2d 584“` -> `cite=“821 N.Y.S.2d 584“` (Bluebook style). Actually, instruction says “Preserve formatting exactly“. Volume + reporter + starting page. `cite=“821 NYS2d 584“` is correct to the text. * One more logic check: “The court properly exercised its discretion in denying Alicea [328] permission...” Page 327 ends with “Alicea“. Page 328 starts with “permission“. So the ps tag goes exactly there. * *One more*: “delivering defendant Alicea” -> “convicting defendant Alicea” (screenshot). * OCR page 2: “convicting defendant Alicea“. Good. * “Judgment, Supreme Court... unanimously affirmed.” (Paragraph 1) * “Judgment, same court... unanimously affirmed.” (Paragraph 2) * “The verdict was based on...” (Paragraph 3) * “Since the People‘s theory...” (Paragraph 4) * “The court properly exercised...” (Paragraph 5 - spans 327-328) * “Inasmuch as Alicea did not assert...” (Paragraph 6) * “We perceive no basis...” (Paragraph 7) * “We have considered and rejected...” (Paragraph 8) * “Concur—...” (Paragraph 9) * Wait, on page 327, Paragraph 4 “Since the People‘s theory...” contains a reference to “of justice“. * Actually, no. “of justice” is in Paragraph 5: “Defendant‘s constitutional claim regarding this evidence is unpreserved and we decline to review it in the interest of justice.” * Paragraph 6 on page 328 also has “interest of justice“. * Wait, looking at the Theodore H. case... it is also complete. But I‘ll stick to Alicea as the main one requested. * *Citation for Alicea in details*: `821 NYS2d 584`. * *Docket*: (blank). * Let‘s format the midpage-case-info carefully. shortName=“People v. Alicea” case=“THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v RALPH ALICEA, Appellant. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v GLENN WHITE, Appellant.” * *Check Alicea Date*: Reporter vol 821 N.Y.S.2d is from 2006. Case was decided in 2006. * *Final Polish*: No code fences. No commentary. Raw HTML only.
