The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Pedro Yanes, Ernest Hall, Stanley Davis and Frank Smith, Appellants.
    Argued May 8, 1974;
    decided June 6, 1974.
    
      
      Mark L. Amsterdam and William M. Kunstler for appellants.
    
      Mario Merola, District Attorney (Dwight D. Darcy of counsel), for respondent.
   Orders affirmed in the following memorandum: The trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying a further adjournment for a further change of counsel. There were significant reasons why the case should be- processed with expedition. There had been changes of counsel before and there had been a number of adjournments. As a consequence, no issue of law is raised in the case as there would be if there had been an abuse of discretion. Other issues raised do not require discussion.

Concur: Chief Judge Breitel and Judges Jasen, Gabrielli, Jones, Wachtler, Rabin and Stevens.
