Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Appellant, v Henry Cozzani, Respondent.
[872 NYS2d 282]

Opinion:
Appeal by the People from an order of the County Court, Suffolk County (Kahn, J.), dated October 29, 2007, which granted the defendant's motion to dismiss the indictment pursuant to CPL 210.20 (1) (g) and 30.30 (1) (a).
Ordered that the order is affirmed.
Contrary to the prosecution's contention, the County Court properly granted the defendant's motion to dismiss the indictment on speedy trial grounds (see People v Price, — AD3d —, 2009 NY Slip Op 01146 [2009] [decided herewith]). We note that while the prosecution raised in its opposing papers the contention that CPL 30.30 (3) (b) warranted the denial of the defendant's motion, that contention is without merit. Mastro, J.P., Angiolillo, Carni and Eng, JJ., concur.
