PEOPLE v. NEWTON

Defendant's constitutional speedy trial motion was properly denied ( People v Taranovich, 37 N.Y.2d 442, 445). "The record indicates that substantial parts of the [22-month] delay were justified, mostly due to defendant's pretrial applications and motions" ( People v Garcia, 208 A.D.2d 425, lv denied 84 N.Y.2d 1031), and relatively little delay was attributable to the People.

We have considered defendant's remaining argument and find it to be without merit.

Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Ellerin, Ross, Tom and Mazzarelli, JJ.
