Morgan v. State

316 N.E.2d 877, 34 N.Y.2d 949, 359 N.Y.S.2d 564, 1974 N.Y. LEXIS 1408

Opinion

Motion to amend remittitur granted in part. Return of remittitur requested, and when returned it will be amended by adding the following: Upon the appeal herein, there was presented and necessarily passed upon questions under the Constitution of the United States, viz: Whether the rights of appellant under the Fourteenth Amendment were denied. Appellant contended the procedures by which she was committed to Creed-moor State Hospital and subsequently transferred to Matteawan State Hospital denied her due process of the law. The Court of Appeals considered these contentions and rejected them. [See 34 N Y 2d 709.]
