People v. MartinPeople v. Martin
Defendant was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance in the first degree. He moved to suppress the evidence seized as well as certain statements he made to the police. Following a suppression hearing, County Court granted suppression of the statements, but not of the tangible physical evidence. Defendant subsequently pleaded guilty to the reduced charge of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the second degree and waived his right to appeal. He was sentenced, in accordance with the plea agreement, to five years to life in prison. He now appeals.
Upon reviewing the record, we note that defendant waived his right to appeal all aspects of the case, including the preplea rulings, the judgment of conviction and sentence. This was done as part of defendant‘s knowing, voluntary and intelligent guilty
Mercure, J.P., Peters, Rose and Lahtinen, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
``` Wait, “790NYS2d 753” in OCR - looking at image 1, it is `[790 NYS2d 753]`. Also, “Kane, J. Appeal from...” I should include the citation in the summary/prefatory section? Actually, the prompt says “Include ALL content before the main opinion text“. The caption and the citation line and the Judge name/intro sentence usually start the opinion in these memo decisions. I‘ll put the caption/metadata in the `details` block and then the text of the memo. Wait, looking at the layout: `THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v BENNIE MARTIN, JR., Appellant. [790 NYS2d 753]—Kane, J.` The `Kane, J.` part is the start of the opinion. The citation is metadata. One thing: re-joining words. “controlled” (OCR had con- trolled) “police” (OCR had po- lice) “suppression” (OCR had sup- pression) “second” (OCR had sec- ond) “criminal” (OCR had crimi- nal) “guilty plea” (Split across pages) Wait, checking the second page “Mercure, J.P., Peters, Rose and Lahtinen, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.” In the Martin case (page 768), the concurring judges are: “Mercure, J.P., Peters, Rose and Lahtinen, JJ.“. Wait, on page 767 (bottom), the Martin case cites Kane, J. as the writer. On page 768, after the Martin text, there is a concurrence block. The Cornwall case then follows. I‘ll stick to *People v. Martin, Jr.* One detail: `lv denied` citations. `People v Williams, 6 AD3d 746, 747 [2004], lv denied 3 NY3d 650 [2004]` I will treat `lv denied 3 NY3d 650 [2004]` as a separate citation tag with the same case name because it‘s a subsequent history action (leave denied). Correction on `midpage-case` for `lv denied`: Usually, `lv denied` is subsequent history. The prompt example for subsequent history is: `..., aff‘d, ...` So for Martin: `People v Williams, 6 AD3d 746, 747 [2004], lv denied 3 NY3d 650 [2004]` Wait, what is the court for 3 NY3d 650? It‘s the Court of Appeals (N.Y.). Check cite: `94 NY2d 831`. This is `94 N.Y.2d 831`. Court is `N.Y.`. Check cite: `6 AD3d 746`. This is `6 A.D.3d 746`. Court is `N.Y. App. Div.`. Check cite: `3 NY3d 650`. This is `3 N.Y.3d 650`. Court is `N.Y.`. Check cite: `2 AD3d 1208`. This is `2 A.D.3d 1208`. Court is `N.Y. App. Div.`. Check cite: `2 NY3d 737`. This is `2 N.Y.3d 737`. Court is `N.Y.`. One more thing: In the images, there‘s a square block character before the caption for People v. Martin and People v. Cornwall and Stevie Robinson. It‘s a bullet/marker. I‘ll omit it as formatting or treat it as a symbol. OCR captures it as a black box. The instructions say “Remove ... vertical/horizontal lines“. I‘ll treat it as a bullet and omit it for a clean caption in the header. Wait, should I convert Cornwall too? “If the document contains multiple opinions ... convert only the MAIN opinion“. In reporters, there isn‘t really one “MAIN” opinion. They are all equally main. Usually, the instructions are for when a PDF contains the end of one case and the start of a new one, or a syllabus/opinion. However, I will follow the instruction to skip partial content (the attorney suspension) and start with the first complete case (*Martin*). Wait, the prompt says “convert the PROVIDED document“. If the document contains 3 complete cases, should I convert all 3? “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.” In these reporter pages, *Martin*, *Cornwall*, and *Robinson* are all complete opinions. Usually, in this context, the prompt implies “don‘t mix multiple cases into one output if they are distinct, pick the main one“. But often users want everything. However, the “MAIN opinion” phrasing is very specific to selecting the primary case of the document. I will pick *People v. Martin, Jr.* as it‘s the first full one. Wait, looking at the OCR and images: Image 1: End of attorney matter. Start of Martin. Image 2: End of Martin. Cornwall case. Bottom: Start of Robinson. Robinson is cut off. Cornwall is complete. Martin is complete. I will convert Martin. Wait, I should check if there‘s any law I missed. “criminal possession of a controlled substance in the second degree” - No law cite given in text (it‘s Penal Law 220.xx but it‘s not written). Final check on citation tags: `lv denied` is common in NY. I‘ll tag it. One detail: `790NYS2d 753`. The image clearly shows `790 NYS2d 753`. Normalized cite: `790 N.Y.S.2d 753`. One detail: `[790 NYS2d 753]—Kane, J.`. The dash is an em-dash in the image. One more thing: the concurrency block for Martin. `Mercure, J.P., Peters, Rose and Lahtinen, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.` This should be its own paragraph. Let‘s double check if I missed any text. “intelligent guilty plea” - “guilty” is at the end of 767, “plea” is at the start of 768. The marker should be ``, it shouldn‘t be in the body. I will exclude it from the first paragraph of the body. Let‘s re-read the OCR/Image: `Kane, J. Appeal from a judgment...` This is a standard memorandum and order style. Wait, looking at the first paragraph: `Kane, J. Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Greene County (Lalor, J.), rendered June 24, 1997, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crime of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the second degree.` If I remove `Kane, J.`, the sentence is still a sentence (though a fragment describing the appeal). Actually, the judge‘s name is metadata. One more check: The citation `790 NYS2d 753`. Is it part of the body? No, it‘s a reporter-added header. I‘ll put it in the metadata only. Paragraph 1: “Appeal from a judgment...” Paragraph 2: “Defendant was charged...” Paragraph 3: “Upon reviewing the record...” Paragraph 4: “Mercure, J.P., Peters...” Wait, the concurrency/order is at the very end. `Mercure, J.P., Peters, Rose and Lahtinen, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.` I‘ll format this last part as a separate paragraph or a signature-like block? It‘s the order of the court. I‘ll use a `
`.
Actually, `Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.` is the directive.
I‘ll keep it as a paragraph.
Final Citations Check:
`People v Kemp, 94 NY2d 831, 833 [1999]`
OCR: `(see People v Kemp, 94 NY2d 831, 833 [1999]; ...)`
The “see” is outside.
One more thing: In New York reports, citations use brackets for years: `[1999]`. I will preserve this word order and formatting.
One detail: `790 NYS2d 753` vs `790NYS2d 753`. The OCR has a typo (missing space). The image shows the space. I‘ll use the space.
Wait, I need to check the exact wording of the citations.
`People v Williams, 6 AD3d 746, 747 [2004], lv denied 3 NY3d 650 [2004]`
In the image: `People v Williams, 6 AD3d 746, 747 [2004], lv denied 3 NY3d 650 [2004]`
I will tag the `lv denied` as a separate case cite.
Final review of the metadata:
- Case Name: THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v BENNIE MARTIN, JR., Appellant.
- Short Name: People v. Martin
- Court: N.Y. App. Div. (or Appellate Division, Third Department)
- Date: 2005-03-10
- Judge: Kane, J.
The prompt asks for Bluebook-style abbreviations for `court`. For the New York Appellate Division, that is `N.Y. App. Div.`.
Wait, the pagination for page 767. The Martin case starts near the middle of page 767. The marker `
`. I‘ll put the concurring judges in the body as they are part of the concluding text block. Final check on capitalization: THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK... I‘ll keep it exactly as it appears in the caption. One detail: “March 10, 2005“. I‘ll format the attribute as `date=“2005-03-10“`. Wait, “March 10, 2005” appears as a date header for a series of decisions. I‘ll include it. Wait, the prompt: “midpage-court: court attribute uses Bluebook abbreviation (e.g., court=“9th Cir.“)” For New York Appellate Division, Third Department, the Bluebook abbreviation is `N.Y. App. Div.`. Let‘s do this. ```html

Mercure, J.P., Peters, Rose and Lahtinen, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
``` Wait, I should check the judges again. Page 767 concurrence block: `Mercure, J.P., Peters, Rose, Lahtinen and Kane, JJ., concur. Ordered that petitioner‘s motion...` That‘s the attorney suspension case. Page 768 Martin concurrence block: `Mercure, J.P., Peters, Rose and Lahtinen, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.` Yes, that‘s correct. I will use straight quotes for everything. Wait, is there any law cite? `Judiciary Law § 90 (4) (g)` is in the attorney case. `22 NYCRR 806.9` is in the attorney case. In the Martin case, there are no law cites, only case cites. Final decision on Cornwall: I will skip it to adhere to “MAIN opinion“. If a document has multiple distinct cases on one page, “MAIN opinion” typically refers to the first complete one in the flow. One more check: `midpage-citation` - I should use the volume and reporter. `cite=“790 N.Y.S.2d 753“` is good. Let‘s do it.
