People v. Robinson, 69 N.Y.2d 1014

On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.4 of ‍‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‍the Rules of the Court of Appeals (22 NYCRR 500.4), appeal dismissed upon the ground that the ‍‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‍reversal by the Appellate Division was not “on the law alone or upon the law and ‍‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‍such facts which, but for the determination of law, would not have led to reversal” (CPL ‍‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‍450.90 [2] [a]). The reversal, while termed “on the law”, was necessarily a determination by the Appellate ‍‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‍Division of a mixed question of law and fact.
