THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK ex rel. EDWARD BROWN, Appellant, v. DALE ARTUS, as Superintendent of Clinton Correctional Facility, Respondent.

In 2002, petitioner was convicted by a jury of burglary in the first degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, possession of stolen property in the fifth degree and resisting arrest and was sentenced to a minimum prison term of 22 years. Petitioner's convictions were upheld on direct appeal ( People v Brown, 16 AD3d 430, 431, lv denied 4 NY3d 852). He commenced this CPLR article 70 proceeding seeking a writ of habeas corpus alleging various constitutional violations and certain jurisdictional defects. Supreme Court denied petitioner's application without a hearing, prompting this appeal.

Habeas corpus relief is unavailable where, as here, petitioner's arguments could have been raised either in the context of a collateral motion or upon a direct appeal from the judgment of conviction ( see People ex rel. Fulton v Lape, 61 AD3d 1227, 1227-1228). Moreover, a review of the record reflects that petitioner has unsuccessfully raised the identical issues in multiple prior state and federal habeas corpus proceedings. Under such circumstances, we perceive no basis upon which to depart from traditional orderly procedure and Supreme Court's judgment is affirmed ( see People ex rel. Franza v Lape, 61 AD3d 1200, 1200).

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs.
