MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Petitioner is serving a lengthy prison sentence after having been convicted of attempted murder, assault and several weapon-related crimes. He commenced this proceeding for a writ of habeas corpus alleging that his detention is unlawful due to procedural, evidentiary and constitutional errors which occurred during his prosecution. Supreme Court dismissed the application and we affirm.

Inasmuch as the issues advanced by petitioner could have been raised on his direct appeal or in a CPL article 440 motion, we find that habeas corpus relief is unavailable (see, People ex rel. Cano v. Kuhlmann, 278 A.D.2d 632, 718 N.Y.S.2d 236, lv denied 96 N.Y.2d 706 [Mar. 22, 2001];People ex rel. Spencer v. Miller, 277 A.D.2d 621). Moreover, we perceive no circumstances warranting a departure from orderly procedure and, accordingly, the application for a writ of habeas corpus was properly denied (see, People ex rel. Spencer v. Miller, supra).

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, without costs.
