People ex rel. Benfante v. Warden of Rikers Island Detention Facility

Opinion of the Court

Writ of habeas corpus in the nature of an application for bail reduction upon Richmond County indictment No. 163/05.

Adjudged that the writ is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.

The determination of the Supreme Court, Kings County, was not an improvident exercise of discretion, and did not violate “constitutional or statutory standards” (People ex rel. Klein v Krueger, 25 NY2d 497, 499 [1969]; see People ex rel. Rosenthal v Wolfson, 48 NY2d 230 [1979]). Crane, J.P. Mastro, Rivera and Spolzino, JJ., concur.
