Indictment No: 20-0293

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, RESPONDENT,

V

LOVELY A. WARREN, ALBERT JONES, JR., AND ROSILAND BROOKS HARRIS, DEFENDANTS.


Defendants having moved pursuant to CPL 230.20 for a change of venue from Monroe County Court, for the prosecution of indictment number 20-0293,

Now, upon reading and filing the papers with respect to the motion, and due deliberation having been had thereon,

It is hereby ORDERED that the motion is denied.

Memorandum: We conclude that defendants have not met their burden of demonstrating that there is "reasonable cause to believe that a fair and impartial trial cannot be had" in Monroe County (CPL 230.20[2]). If it develops during the voir dire that a fair and impartial jury cannot be drawn, an appropriate motion may then be made. The relief requested in the motion is premature (People v Mateo, 239 AD2d 965 [4th Dept 1997]).

Clerk of the Court
