PEOPLE v. JONES (2019)

Supreme Court, Appellate Term, New York,

The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Jamar JONES, Defendant-Appellant.

570045 /15

Decided: December 09, 2019

PRESENT: Ling-Cohan, J.P., Cooper, J.

Appeal from judgment of conviction (Kevin B. McGrath, J.), rendered November 12, 2014, dismissed, as academic.

Under CPL 160.50(5), effective August 28, 2019, defendant's conviction for unlawful possession of marijuana (see Penal Law § 221.05) became a nullity by operation of law, independently of any appeal, and without requiring any action by this Court. Thus this appeal from said conviction must be dismissed as academic.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
