| In the Matter of The People of the State of New York ex rel.
Allen Farbman, Appellant, v Dina Simon, Respondent. |
Seymour W. James, Jr., The Legal Aid Society, New York (Elizabeth Bender of counsel), for appellant.
Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Samuel David of counsel), for respondent.
Judgment (denominated an order), Supreme Court, New York County (Daniel P. FitzGerald, J.), entered May 26, 2017, denying the petition for a writ of habeas corpus, unanimously modified, on the law, and the writ granted to the extent of waiving the surety inspection, and otherwise affirmed, without costs.
Upon our review of the record, and considering the factors set forth in CPL 510.30 (2) (a), we find that the court did not abuse its discretion in setting bail of $50,000 secured surety bond or cash. However, we waive the surety inspection since the requirements for ordering a surety inspection were not met (see CPL 520.30 [1]).
We have considered petitioner's remaining contentions and find them unavailing. Concur—Friedman, J.P., Richter, Mazzarelli, Kapnick, Gesmer, JJ.
Motion for leave to amend the caption, seal the briefs, and replace petitioner's name with initials denied.
