Opinion
The People of the State of New York ex rel. Lance Lazzaro, on Behalf of Kaseem Smallwood, Petitioner, v Warden, Rikers Island Correctional Facility, Respondent.
[960 NYS2d 903]
[MAJORITY]
Writ of habeas corpus in the nature of an application to set bail upon Kings County indictment No. 8704/12.
Adjudged that the writ is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.
The determination of the Supreme Court, Kings County, was not an improvident exercise of discretion, and did not violate “constitutional or statutory standards” (People ex rel. Klein v Krueger, 25 NY2d 497, 499 [1969]; see People ex rel. Rosenthal v Wolfson, 48 NY2d 230 [1979]). Rivera, J.P., Dickerson, Leventhal and Roman, JJ., concur.
