DEFENDANT DID NOT HAVE STATUTORY AUTHORITY TO APPEAL COUNTY COURT’S RULING GIVING THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY ACCESS TO A PRE-SENTENCE INVESTIGATION REPORT (PSI) RELATING TO DEFENDANT’S PRIOR CONVICTION (THIRD DEPT)

The Third Department, in a full-fledged opinion by Justice Devine, determined that the defendant did not have statutory authorization to appeal from a ruling by County Court which allowed the prosecutor access to a pre-sentence investigation report (PSI) prepared in connection with defendant’s prior conviction:

Defendant pleaded guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree in Saratoga County, and a presentence investigation report (hereinafter PSI) was prepared for County Court prior to his 2006 sentencing. Several years later, an indictment was handed up in Schenectady County charging defendant with various offenses. The Schenectady County District Attorney believed that the PSI contained information relevant to the new criminal action and, as a result, applied to County Court for the limited disclosure and use of the PSI. County Court granted that request, prompting this appeal by defendant. * * *

… [T]he Schenectady County District Attorney’s Office applied for disclosure of the PSI with the aim of using it in a pending criminal action against defendant. The application therefore “relate[s] to a prospective, pending or completed criminal action” so as to constitute a criminal matter, and statutory authorization is required to appeal from any order emanating from it (CPL 1.20 [18] [b]). No such authorization can be found in CPL 450.10 or 450.15 and, thus, the present appeal must be dismissed … . People v Young, 2018 NY Slip Op 04596, Third Dept 6-21-18
