MATTER OF PEABODY v. FRANCKE

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department.
Nov 18, 1957

Appeal from a resettled order denying an application to direct the County Clerk, Nassau County, to expunge from the record the return filed by a Police Justice sitting as a Court of Special Sessions, certifying to the conviction of appellant on a charge of disorderly conduct. Appellant was convicted by the Police Justice sitting as a Court of Special Sessions and on appeal this conviction was reversed and a new trial ordered in the County Court, Nassau County. A second trial was never held, and the proceedings were dismissed. Order unanimously affirmed, without costs. The return was filed in accordance with the mandate of the statute (Code Crim. Pro., ยง 756). No right to have it expunged exists unless such right is conferred by statute ( Matter of Molineux v. Collins, 177 N.Y. 395; Matter of Dorgan v. Mercer, 178 Misc. 368; cf. Matter of Troilo v. Valentine, 179 Misc. 954).
