2026–04951

Decided: June 09, 2026

CHERYL E. CHAMBERS, J.P., BARRY E. WARHIT, LAURENCE L. LOVE, SUSAN QUIRK, JJ.

Michael E. Davis, Goshen, N.Y. (Christopher Pezzullo pro se of counsel), for petitioner. David M. Hoovler, District Attorney, Goshen, N.Y. (Andrew R. Kass and Robert C. McIver of counsel), for respondent.

DECISION & JUDGMENT

Writ of habeas corpus in the nature of an application to release Yashua T. Martin upon his own recognizance upon Orange County Indictment Nos. 150/2026 and 70410/2026.

ADJUDGED that the writ is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.

Contrary to the petitioner's contention, Yashua T. Martin was charged with qualifying offenses under CPL 510.10(4)(t). Here, the People established that he was charged with a felony offense that “arose from conduct occurring” while he was released on his own recognizance on separate felony charges (CPL 510.10[4][t] ). Accordingly, the charged crimes in this case were qualifying offenses under CPL 510.10(4)(t).

CHAMBERS, J.P., WARHIT, LOVE and QUIRK, JJ., concur.
