HERE THE PEOPLE REQUESTED AN ADJOURNMENT OF THE HUNTLEY HEARING BUT THE RECORD IS SILENT ABOUT THE LENGTH OF THE REQUESTED ADJOURNMENT; THEREFORE THE ENTIRE TIME BETWEEN THE REQUEST AND THE HEARING WAS COUNTED AGAINST THE PEOPLE FOR “SPEEDY TRIAL” PURPOSES (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department, granting the speedy trial motion and dismissing the indictment, determined that the record did not indicate the length of an adjournment of the Huntley hearing requested by the People and, therefore, the entire time between the request and the hearing was chargeable to the People:

“Normally, the People will be charged only with the actual period of adjournment requested, following their initial statement of readiness; any additional period of delay, for the convenience of the court’s calendar, will be excludable” … . The People, however, “bear the burden of ensuring that the record explains the cause of adjournments sufficiently for the court to determine which party should properly be charged with any delay” … . Here, there is no explanation as to the reason for the requested adjournment in the record, and there is no indication on the record of the length of the adjournment the People were requesting. Thus, the entire period is chargeable to the People … . Furthermore, the adjournment is not excludable inasmuch as defendant did not expressly consent to the adjournment … . People v Bish, 2024 NY Slip Op 02409, Fourth Dept 5-3-24

Practice Point: If the People request an adjournment of a hearing but the record is silent about the length of the requested adjournment, the entire time between the request and the hearing may be chargeable to the People.
