PEOPLE v. BEYAH

It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from be and the same hereby is unanimously affirmed.

Memorandum:

Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him upon his plea of guilty of promoting prison contraband in the first degree (Penal Law § 205.25). Contrary to the contention of defendant, County Court properly denied his motion seeking dismissal of the indictment based on a preindictment delay of over 12 months. We reject the contention of defendant that the delay violated his constitutional right to a speedy trial (see generally People v. Taranovich, 37 N.Y.2d 442, 444-445). We further reject the contention of defendant that his due process rights were violated by the preindictment delay (see generally People v. Singer, 44 N.Y.2d 241, 253-255).
