PEOPLE EX REL. HEATH v. RILEY

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department.
Mar 11, 1991

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

Generally, claims which were or could have been reviewed on direct appeal from a judgment of conviction are not subject to review by habeas corpus (see, People ex rel. Wise v Scully, 163 A.D.2d 444; Matter of Williams v Scully, 135 A.D.2d 721; People ex rel. Phifer v Scully, 107 A.D.2d 729). Nor do the facts of this case indicate a violation of the petitioner's fundamental constitutional rights such as to warrant a departure from the "traditional orderly proceedings" (People ex rel. Keitt v McMann, 18 N.Y.2d 257, 262; cf., Stone v Powell, 428 U.S. 465). Bracken, J.P., Kooper, Lawrence, Balletta and O'Brien, JJ., concur.
