People v. Dexter, 94 N.Y.2d 847

OPINION OF THE COURT

Memorandum.

The order of the Appellate ‍‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‍Division should be affirmed.

Defendant’s own alternative request at Supreme Court that the original indictment be reinstated ‍‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‍precludes this Court from reaching his current primary contention that Supreme Court did not have ‍‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‍the authority to vacate the order dismissing the original indictment (CPL 470.05 [2]). The remainder of ‍‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‍defendant’s contentions are either unpreserved, nonreviewable or meritless.

Chief Judge Kaye and Judges Bellacosa, Smith, Levine, Ciparick, ‍‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‍Wesley and Rosenblatt concur.

Order affirmed in a memorandum.
