People v. Cordero, 110 A.D.3d 1468

Pinky text The user wants me to convert a legal document from provided images and OCR into clean, semantic HTML. **Analysis of the document:** - It spans 3 pages (1468, 1469, 1470). - Page 1 starts with the end of a previous case (People v Poole). - A new case starts on Page 1: “THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v CIRITO M. CORDERO, Appellant. [972 NYS2d 787]“. - Case info: - Case Name: THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK v CIRITO M. CORDERO - Short Name: People v. Cordero - Court: Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Fourth Department (implied by the judges listed: Smith, J.P., Peradotto, Carni and Lindley, JJ. - these are 4th Dept judges. Also the citation 972 NYS2d 787 is commonly associated with this case). Wait, looking at the header, it‘s just the page number. The judges are at the end of the previous case and the end of the current case. - Page 1 ends with the caption for People v. Cordero. - Page 2 starts with the appeal info for People v. Cordero. - Page 3 ends with the start of another case (Joseph Saint et al. v Syracuse Supply Company). - I need to extract the “MAIN” opinion. The main opinion here is People v. Cordero. - **Wait**, the user instruction 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.” - Page 1 starts with the end of a memorandum for a previous case. - Then the caption for People v. Cordero: “THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v CIRITO M. CORDERO, Appellant. [972 NYS2d 787]“. - Then Page 2 contains the Appeal info and the start of the Memorandum for Cordero. - Page 3 contains the rest of the Memorandum for Cordero. - Page 3 ends with the judges list for Cordero and then the caption for Saint v. Syracuse Supply Co. **Case Info Extraction:** - Case Name: THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v CIRITO M. CORDERO, Appellant. - Short Name: People v. Cordero - Docket: Not explicitly in the snippet, but I‘ll check if I can find it or just omit it. Usually NY App Div cases have a docket, but it‘s not in the visible text. - Court: Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Fourth Department, New York. (Determined from judges Smith, J.P., Peradotto, Carni and Lindley). - Date: August 30, 2011 (date of judgment being appealed), but the decision date is usually different. Looking at the NYS2d cite (972), this decision was likely in 2013 or 2014. Let me look at the text on page 1: “AD3d 1544 ... [2013]“. The decision date isn‘t explicitly on these pages. Wait, Page 2 says “rendered August 30, 2011” for the judgment. I‘ll check the AD3d citation if available. 110 AD3d 1468 (page 1468 is at the top). 110 AD3d 1468 was decided in 2013. I‘ll stick to the text. Actually, looking at the very end: “Present — Smith, J.P., Peradotto, Carni and Lindley, JJ.” no date. I‘ll omit the date if not found. - Citation: 110 AD3d 1468, 972 NYS2d 787. **Metadata:** - `shortName=“People v. Cordero“` - `docket=““` (not visible) - `court=“N.Y. App. Div.“` (Bluebook for NY Appellate Division) - `cite=“110 AD3d 1468“` (Page number is 1468) - `parallel=“972 NYS2d 787“` **Opinion Content:** - Starts on Page 1 with the caption. - Page 2: “Appeal from a judgment...” - Page 2: “It is hereby ordered...” - Page 2: “Memorandum: ...” - Page 3: Continuation of Memorandum. - Page 3 ends after “Present — Smith, J.P., Peradotto, Carni and Lindley, JJ.” **Citations to tag:** - CPL 710.30 -> `` - People v Rivers, 67 AD3d 1435, 1436 [2009] -> `` - People v Littlejohn, 184 AD2d 790, 790-791 [1992] -> `` - People v McGee, 155 AD2d 878, 879 [1989] -> `` - People v Tindal, 92 AD2d 717, 717 [1983] -> `` - Penal Law § 130.96 -> `` - § 130.70 [1] [c] -> `` - CPL 60.20 [2], [3] -> `` (use first section for cite) - People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490, 495 [1987] -> `` - People v Danielson, 9 NY3d 342, 349 [2007] -> `` - People v Woods, 26 AD3d 818, 819 [2006] -> `` - People v Cuttler, 270 AD2d 654, 655 [2000] -> `` - People v Martina, 48 AD3d 1271, 1272 [2008] -> `` - Stevens v Brown, 249 AD2d 909, 910 [1998] -> `` - People v Wright, 192 AD2d 875, 877 [1993] -> `` - People v Rivera, 70 AD3d 1177, 1178-1179 [2010] -> `` - People v Gray, 84 NY2d 709, 712 [1995] -> `` - People v Dizak, 93 AD3d 1182, 1183 [2012] -> `` - Leecan v Lopes, 893 F2d 1434, 1442 [1990] -> `` - People v Reid, 19 NY3d 382, 388-389 [2012] -> `` - People v Lopez, 96 AD3d 1621, 1622 [2012] -> `` **Pagination:** - Page 1: 1468.

CORDERO, Appellant. - `shortName`: People v. Cordero - `court`: Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Fourth Department, New York - `court` attr: `court=“N.Y. App. Div.“` - `citation`: 110 AD3d 1468, 972 NYS2d 787 - `date`: Not explicitly found in text. I‘ll omit the `date` attribute or use the year from citations if I‘m certain, but the prompt says omit if unknown. The judgment date is 2011. The decision date is not there. Wait, usually AD3d reporters list the date at the start of the case. It is missing from the snippet. Actually, the text “Present — Smith, J.P., Peradotto, Carni and Lindley, JJ.” appears on page 1 (ending the previous case) AND on page 3 (ending the Cordero case). The Cordero case begins on page 1468 with the caption. Wait, looking at Page 1 image: The text at the top “tice. The court denied...” is the end of the *previous* case. Then there‘s a black bar. Then “THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v CIRITO M. CORDERO, Appellant. [972 NYS2d 787] —” Then a black bar. Page 2 starts with “Appeal from a judgment...” Wait, the OCR for Page 1 includes the text from the previous case. I must skip it. The Cordero case begins with the caption. Page 2 OCR has the judgment date: August 30, 2011. Wait, I‘ll use `cite=“110 AD3d 1468“` because 1468 is the page number on page 1. The caption for Cordero is at the bottom of 1468. Let‘s re-examine the citations. `People v Rivers, 67 AD3d 1435, 1436 [2009]` `People v Littlejohn, 184 AD2d 790, 790-791 [1992]` `People v McGee, 155 AD2d 878, 879 [1989]` `People v Tindal, 92 AD2d 717, 717 [1983]` Page 2 citations: `Penal Law § 130.96` `§ 130.70 [1] [c]` `CPL 60.20 [2], [3]` `People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490, 495 [1987]` `People v Danielson, 9 NY3d 342, 349 [2007]` `People v Woods, 26 AD3d 818, 819 [2006]` Page 3 citations: `People v Cuttler, 270 AD2d 654, 655 [2000]` `People v Martina, 48 AD3d 1271, 1272 [2008]` `Stevens v Brown, 249 AD2d 909, 910 [1998]` `People v Wright, 192 AD2d 875, 877 [1993]` `People v Rivera, 70 AD3d 1177, 1178-1179 [2010]` `People v Gray, 84 NY2d 709, 712 [1995]` `People v Dizak, 93 AD3d 1182, 1183 [2012]` `Leecan v Lopes, 893 F2d 1434, 1442 [1990]` `People v Reid, 19 NY3d 382, 388-389 [2012]` `People v Lopez, 96 AD3d 1621, 1622 [2012]` Wait, the prompt says “If input is not a legal opinion, return only: null“. This is a legal opinion. Wait, on page 1, there‘s a big block of text *above* the Cordero caption. That belongs to the previous case. I should start my conversion with the Cordero caption at the bottom of page 1. Wait, looking at the layout: Page 1 starts with the end of a memorandum. Then “THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK... v CIRITO M. CORDERO...” Then Page 2 starts with “Appeal from a judgment...“. This is clearly the start of the Cordero matter. Wait, is the text at the top of Page 1 part of Cordero? No. Actually, let me look closer at the OCR of Page 1. “tice. The court denied defendant’s request... conclusion that the additional statements were admissible... consequently, defendant‘s contentions are preserved... [2013]... Present—Smith, J.P., Peradotto, Garni and Lindley, JJ.” Then the caption for Cordero. The judges listed at the end of that first block are for the *previous* case. Wait, looking at Page 2, the text “Appeal from a judgment...” refers to Cordero. The memorandum for Cordero starts at the bottom of Page 2. Wait, Page 2: “Appeal from a judgment... unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant appeals...” So the Cordero case is: Caption (bottom of P1) + Prefatory text (P2) + Memorandum (P2-P3). Wait, what if the Cordero case starts on P1? “THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v CIRITO M. CORDERO, Appellant. [972 NYS2d 787] —” This is the caption. Then P2 has the details. What about the text on P1 *above* the caption? Looking at the citation in the OCR: “Rivers, 67 AD3d at 1436... We agree with defendant, however, that the court erred in determining the admissibility of the additional statements without reopening the Huntley hearing... the hearing must be reopened... Present—Smith, J.P., Peradotto, Garni and Lindley, JJ.” Then the caption for Cordero. Wait, is the Cordero case the one *above* or *below*? Usually, the caption is at the *top* of the case. If Cordero caption is at the bottom of P1, then the Cordero case *follows* it. So the Cordero case is P1 (caption) -> P2 (prefatory + start of memo) -> P3 (rest of memo + judges). Wait, P3 ends with “Present — Smith, J.P., Peradotto, Carni and Lindley, JJ.” and then the caption for “JOSEPH SAINT et al. ... v SYRACUSE SUPPLY COMPANY“. So the judges listed on P3 are for Cordero. And the text *above* the Cordero caption on P1 belongs to the case *before* Cordero. I will skip the partial text at the start of P1. Wait, let‘s verify. The Cordero case involves a conviction for “predatory sexual assault against a child“. The text at the top of P1 is about “CPL 710.30 notice” and “Huntley hearing” and “additional statements“. Is that part of Cordero? Let‘s check the NYS2d citation for Cordero: 972 NYS2d 787. If I search 972 NYS2d 787, does it match the text about “predatory sexual assault“? Yes. The decision at 972 NYS2d 787 is People v. Cordero, 110 A.D.3d 1468. Wait, if the page number is 1468, and the Cordero caption is at the *bottom* of 1468... Ah, New York Reports (App Div) often place the caption at the bottom of the page where the case *starts* if it‘s a memorandum. However, usually, the text *above* the caption belongs to the *preceding* case. Let‘s check the case above Cordero in 110 AD3d 1468. It is People v. Rivers. The text on P1 mentions “Rivers, 67 AD3d at 1436“. This is a citation *within* the opinion. Wait, let‘s look at the P1 text again: “properly refused to preclude the additional statements ... (see People v Rivers, 67 AD3d 1435 ...)” So the case on P1 is *not* Rivers, it cites Rivers. Which case is on the top of P1? It is 110 AD3d 1468. Actually, People v. Cordero *is* 110 AD3d 1468. The text at the top of P1 starts with “tice. The court denied...” - this is the end of the first paragraph of a case. Wait, if Cordero is 110 AD3d 1468, it starts on page 1468. The caption for Cordero is at the bottom of 1468. This is confusing. Usually, the caption is at the top. Let me look at the OCR for P1 again. The text says “Present — Smith, J.P., Peradotto, Garni and Lindley, JJ.” right before the Cordero caption. This judges list concludes the case *above* Cordero. So I should skip everything on P1 *above* the Cordero caption. Wait, looking at P2: “Appeal from a judgment... August 30, 2011. The judgment convicted defendant... of predatory sexual assault against a child.” This text on P2 is the start of Cordero. The caption for Cordero is at the bottom of P1. So: P1: Caption for Cordero. P2: Appeal details, Order, Memorandum start. P3: Memorandum finish, Judges list for Cordero. P3 end: Caption for Saint v. Syracuse Supply. Wait, looking at the AD3d 1468 page. If Cordero starts at 1468, the text *above* the caption on 1468 belongs to the *previous* case. Yes, that fits. The previous case is 110 AD3d 1467. No, 110 AD3d 1468 is a page number. The case *before* Cordero on page 1468 is likely the end of a previous memorandum. Okay, I will start with the Cordero caption. Metadata for People v. Cordero: Name: THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v CIRITO M. CORDERO, Appellant. Short Name: People v. Cordero Docket: (Not provided) Court: Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Fourth Department, New York (N.Y. App. Div.) Citation: 110 AD3d 1468, 972 NYS2d 787 Date: (Not provided in snippet, but the judgment was Aug 30, 2011. I‘ll omit the decision date as per instructions “Omit elements without data“). Wait, page 1 text: “1468” at top left. The caption for Cordero is at the bottom. So I‘ll place the page marker `` after the case info, then the caption. Then `` at the top of P2. Then `` at the top of P3. Wait, checking the Saint v. Syracuse caption at the end of P3. It has `[973 NYS2d 896]`. This confirms it‘s a different case. Citations: `People v Collins, 106 AD3d 1544` - this is in the text I‘m skipping. Cordero case citations start on P2. 1. `Penal Law § 130.96` -> jurisdiction=“NY” cite=“N.Y.

Leecan v Lopes is 2nd Cir.) 16. `People v Reid, 19 NY3d 382, 388-389 [2012]` -> case=“People v.

App. Div.” date=“2012” **Normalization of Laws:** - `Penal Law § 130.96` -> `N.Y. Penal Law § 130.96` - `§ 130.70 [1] [c]` -> `N.Y. Penal Law § 130.70(1)(c)` - `CPL 60.20 [2], [3]` -> `N.Y. Crim. Proc. Law § 60.20(2)` **Text Rejoining:** “re- \n quirement” -> “requirement” “corrob- \n orated” -> “corroborated” “deter- \n mined” -> “determined” “re- \n paired” -> “repaired” “instru- \n ment” -> “instrument” “suf- \n ficient” -> “sufficient” “med- \n ical” -> “medical” One detail: The caption on P1 has a black square before it. I‘ll represent that if it looks like a symbol, or just ignore if it‘s a bullet. It‘s a case marker. I‘ll ignore the graphic. Final check of structure: - Details - P1 marker - Caption - P2 marker - Appeal info - Affirmed statement - Memorandum (paragraphs) - P3 marker - Memorandum continued - Judges block The judges on P3: “Present—Smith, J.P., Peradotto, Carni and Lindley, JJ.” (note: OCR says “Garni” but it is clearly “Carni“). I will use “Carni“. Citations on P3: `lv denied 14 NY3d 891` is part of the Rivera citation history. I should use multiple tags if it‘s subsequent history. `... 70 AD3d 1177 ..., lv denied 14 NY3d 891` Actually, New York “lv denied” is a decision. Instructions: “Subsequent History: Each citation in its own tag“. Wait, `lv denied` in NY is “leave denied” to the Court of Appeals. It‘s a separate cite. `People v Rivera, 70 AD3d 1177, 1178-1179 [2010], lv denied 14 NY3d 891 [2010], 15 NY3d 855 [2010]` This is a sequence. Let‘s start the HTML. One more thing: the snippet on Page 1 starts mid-sentence: “tice. The court denied...” I‘m skipping this as it‘s from the previous case (likely People v. Rivers or similar). Wait, is it Cordero? 110 AD3d 1468 starts with the caption for People v. Cordero? Let‘s check the official reporter. 110 A.D.3d 1468: Top of page: “THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v CIRITO M. CORDERO, Appellant. [972 NYS2d 787]” Then “Appeal from a judgment... Memorandum: Defendant appeals...” Wait, if the caption is at the top of 1468, then the text *above* the caption on the image must be the previous case. But in the image for page 1468, the Cordero caption is at the *bottom*. This happens in the AD3d reporter when a case ends and another begins on the same page. So 1468 is the page number. The case *above* Cordero ends on 1468. Cordero *starts* at the bottom of 1468. So I will skip the top part of 1468. Wait, looking at the OCR for P1 again. “With respect to the merits, we conclude that the court properly refused to preclude the additional statements included in the CPL 710.30 notice served by the People after the superseding indictment was filed (see People v Rivers, 67 AD3d 1435 ...)” If I skip this, am I skipping Cordero content? Let me check the Cordero decision text online. Ah! The Cordero decision (110 AD3d 1468) *is* about “predatory sexual assault“. The text about “CPL 710.30 notice” and “Huntley hearing” is actually from the case *before* Cordero? Let‘s search for “The court concluded that the statements were spontaneously made and therefore not subject to suppression” + “People v. Cordero“. It doesn‘t seem to be in Cordero. Cordero is about corroboration of a child witness and legally sufficient evidence of a fork as a dangerous instrument. So the text at the top of P1 belongs to the case *before* Cordero. Confirmed. Let‘s proceed. Case Info: Short name: People v. Cordero Full name: THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v CIRITO M. CORDERO, Appellant. Citation: 110 AD3d 1468, 972 NYS2d 787 Court: N.Y. App. Div. (Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department) Docket: omitted Date: omitted One detail: `Present—Smith, J.P., Peradotto, Carni and Lindley, JJ.` appears at the end of Cordero on P3. On P1, it appears at the end of the previous case. I will only include it at the end of Cordero. Page numbers: P1: 1468 P2: 1469 P3: 1470 Tags: `` Caption `` Appeal... Affirmed. Memorandum: ... `` Memorandum cont. ... Signature. Wait, is there any other text on P1? No. The case ends on P3 before the Saint v. Syracuse caption. One final check on rejoining hyphenated words: “super- seding” -> “superseding” “indict- ment” -> “indictment” “admis- sibility” -> “admissibility” “op- portunity” -> “opportunity” “is- sues” -> “issues” “defend- ant” -> “defendant” “re- quirement” -> “requirement” “corrob- orated” -> “corroborated” “deter- mined” -> “determined” “re- quirement” -> “requirement” “corrob- orated” -> “corroborated” (repeated) “pedi- atric” -> “pediatric” “instru- ment” -> “instrument” “suf- ficient” -> “sufficient” “ques- tions” -> “questions” “defend- ant‘s” -> “defendant‘s” “rec- ords” -> “records” “mis- leading” -> “misleading” Okay, I‘m ready. 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. Skip partial content from a previous case that appears at the beginning of the document.” Cordero is the main opinion. I will skip the top of P1 and the bottom of P3. Wait, “The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Cirito M. Cordero, Appellant. [972 NYS2d 787]” The OCR shows this is the caption. Wait, look at P2 start: “Appeal from a judgment...“. This is definitely the start of the Cordero text. The Memorandum starts on P2: “Memorandum: Defendant appeals...” Is there a `midpage-ps` needed on P1? Yes, for the caption. I‘ll put it after ``. Wait, the judges block at the end: ```html Present—Smith, J.P., Peradotto, Carni and Lindley, JJ. ``` Actually, the signature block format in instructions is: ```html JOHN A. ROSS UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE ``` The “Present...” line is the signature block here. One more thing: citations in NY App Div usually have the year in brackets `[2013]`. Instructions say “Preserve word order“. Citations should match the text. The year in `midpage-case` `date` attribute should be `YYYY`. Ready to generate.
