ALTHOUGH THE ARGUMENT THAT THE INDICTMENT WAS DUPLICITOUS WAS PRESERVED FOR APPEAL, THE ISSUE WAS NOT RULED ON BY COUNTY COURT AND THEREFORE CAN NOT BE CONSIDERED ON APPEAL; MATTER REMITTED FOR A RULING (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department noted that it can not consider an issue which was preserved for appeal but was not ruled upon by County Court. The matter was remitted:

Although defendant did preserve his contention concerning facial duplicity by seeking dismissal of the indictment on that ground in the pretrial omnibus motion … , we are unable to address that contention because County Court failed to rule on that part of defendant’s omnibus motion (see CPL 470.15 [1] …).

The Court of Appeals “has construed CPL 470.15 (1) as a legislative restriction on the Appellate Division’s power to review issues either decided in an appellant’s favor, or not ruled upon, by the trial court” … , “and thus the court’s failure to rule on the motion cannot be deemed a denial thereof” … . We therefore hold the case, reserve decision and remit the matter to County Court for a ruling on that part of defendant’s omnibus motion. People v Baek, 2021 NY Slip Op 04424, Fourth Dept 7-16-21
