Dismissal of Indictment On Ground that Law Enforcement Personnel Improperly Issued a Subpoena for Defendant’s Financial Records Reversed/Defendant Did Not Have Standing to Challenge the Subpoena and Issuance of the Subpoena Did Not Violate Defendant’s Constitutional Rights

The Second Department determined that the trial court should not have dismissed an indictment in the interest of justice on the ground that law enforcement personnel improperly issued a subpoena to Citibank for defendant’s financial records.  The court noted that defendant did not have standing to challenge the subpoena because he did not have a proprietary interest in the records:

Even assuming, arguendo, that the subpoena was improperly issued, the defendant had no standing to challenge the validity of the subpoena … as he had no possessory or proprietary interest in the bank’s records … . Further, any impropriety in the issuance of the subpoena did not implicate the defendant’s constitutional rights … or federal statutory rights … . Since any misconduct on the part of law enforcement in issuing the subpoena did not implicate the defendant’s rights or interests, justice did not require dismissal of the subject counts of the indictment on the basis of any such misconduct. Further, for the reasons noted above, suppression of the Citibank records was not proper either as a sanction for alleged misconduct or for an alleged violation of the defendant’s Fourth Amendment rights… . People v Adeniran, 2014 NY Slip Op 02302, 2nd Dept 4-2-14
