The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Juan Freytes, Appellant.
    Argued September 10, 1979;
    decided September 18, 1979
    APPEARANCES OF COUNSEL
    
      Judith Preble and William E. Hellerstein for appellant.
    
      
      Mario Merola, District Attorney (Allen H. Saperstein and Steven R. Kartagener of counsel), for respondent.
   OPINION OF THE COURT

Order reversed and the indictment dismissed. Since the facts underlying appellant’s speedy trial claim are concededly indistinguishable from the facts which we deemed sufficient to support such a claim in People v Moore (47 NY2d 872), the result should be the same.

Concur: Chief Judge Cooke and Judges Jasen, Gabrielli, Jones, Wachtler, Fuchsberg and Meyer.
