The People of the State of New York ex rel. Roy Taylor, Appellant, v Warden, Rikers Island Correctional Facility, Respondent.
[853 NYS2d 882]

Opinion:
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Brenda Soloff, J.), entered December 18, 2006, denying petitioner's application for a writ of habeas corpus and dismissing the petition, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Contrary to petitioner's contention, the record is sufficient to permit review. While petitioner alleged a violation of CEL 180.80, it is clear from the face of the petition that petitioner's lawyer had waived the requirement that a hearing be held within 144 hours of petitioner's arrest (see CEL 180.80 [1]). In any event, even if there had been a CEL 180.80 violation at the inception of the underlying criminal case, that would not presently entitle petitioner to release.
