THE 202O AMENDMENT TO CPL 30.30 WHICH ALLOWS AN APPEAL ALLEGING A VIOLATION OF THE SPEEDY TRIAL STATUTE AFTER A GUILTY PLEA DOES NOT APPLY RETROACTIVELY (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department, in a full-fledged opinion by Justice Mulvey, determined the 2020 amendment to Criminal Procedure Law 30.30 which allows an appeal alleging the violation of the speedy trial statute after a guilty plea does not apply retroactively:

At the time of defendant’s plea in November 2017 and his sentencing in April 2018, it was settled law that a guilty plea forfeited a defendant’s right to claim that the trial court erred in denying his or her CPL 30.30 speedy trial motion … . However, CPL 30.30 (6), which was enacted as part of an omnibus budget bill in April 2019 and became effective on January 1, 2020 … , provides that “[a]n order finally denying a motion to dismiss pursuant to [CPL 30.30 (1)] shall be reviewable upon an appeal from an ensuing judgment of conviction notwithstanding the fact that such judgment is entered upon a plea of guilty.” * * *

“… [I]t is a bedrock rule of law that, absent an unambiguous statement of legislative intent, statutes that revive time-barred claims if applied retroactively will not be construed to have that effect” … . People v Duggins, 2021 NY Slip Op 00336, Third Dept 1-21-21
