APPEAL FROM LOCAL CRIMINAL COURT NOT PROPERLY TAKEN, THE PROCEEDINGS WERE NOT TRANSCRIBED AND NO AFFIDAVIT OF ERRORS WAS SERVED OR FILED (CT APP).

The Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Term, noting that the appeal from a local court was not properly taken. The proceedings were not transcribed by a court stenographer and no affidavit of errors had been filed or served:

On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.11 of the Rules, order reversed, and case remitted to the Appellate Term, 2nd Department, Ninth and Tenth Judicial Districts, for further proceedings. Because the case originated in a local criminal court and the proceedings were not transcribed by a court stenographer, the appeal was not properly taken due to the failure to serve or file an affidavit of errors (see CPL 460.10[3]).
