People v. Knight

538 N.E.2d 353, 73 N.Y.2d 992, 540 N.Y.S.2d 1001, 1989 N.Y. LEXIS 397

Opinion

Appeal dismissed upon the ground that the Appellate Division’s determination of reversal was not on the law alone or upon the law and such facts which, but for the determination of law, would not have led to reversal (CPL 450.90 [2] [a]). Although the Appellate Division stated that its reversal was on the law, it was based upon a claimed error which was not preserved and does not present a question of law for review by this court (People v Dercole, 52 NY2d 956).

Concur: Chief Judge Wachtler and Judges Simons, Alexander, Titone, Hancock, Jr., and Bellacosa. Taking no part: Judge Kaye.
