The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Plaintiff, v. JOSE C., Defendant.
The defendant moves this court to dismiss the case pursuant to CPL §§ 30.30 (1) (b) and 170.30 (1) (e). The People agree that the motion must be granted and consent to dismissal.
In this case, in which the defendant is charged with an A misdemeanor and no felonies, the People must be ready for trial within ninety days of the commencement of the criminal action (CPL 30.30 [1] [b]). Here, it is uncontested that the People did not serve a statement of readiness (SOR) on the defendant until the ninety-first day after arraignment. The defendant was therefore denied the right to a speedy trial (CPL 30.30 [1] [b]), and his motion to dismiss is granted (CPL 170.30 [1] [e]).
This constitutes the decision and order of this court.
