The People of the State of New York ex rel. Ramon Mena, Appellant, v Robert Brennan, as Warden, Respondent.
[637 NYS2d 106]
[MAJORITY]
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Laura Drager, J.), entered October 27, 1995, which denied petitioner’s application for a writ of habeas corpus, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Supreme Court properly denied the petition since habeas corpus relief is not available to remedy either a purported violation of petitioner’s speedy trial rights under CPL 30.30 (1) (a) (see, People ex rel. Chakwin v Warden, 63 NY2d 120, 124-125; Matter of Kassebaum v al-Rahman, 212 AD2d 482), or alleged deficiencies in the Grand Jury proceedings relating to laboratory analysis reports admitted into evidence and petitioner’s knowledge of the weight of the drugs (see, People ex rel. Manning v Warden, 178 AD2d 169, lv denied 79 NY2d 759). Concur—Sullivan, J. P., Wallach, Ross and Williams, JJ.
