People v. Key

New York Court of Appeals
People v. Key, 54 N.Y.2d 813 (N.Y. 1981)
427 N.E.2d 949; 443 N.Y.S.2d 652; 1981 N.Y. LEXIS 3033

People v. Key

Opinion of the Court

OPINION OF THE COURT

Appeal dismissed by the court sua sponte. Although the order of the Appellaté Division states that the reversal was “on the law”, a review of the opinions rendered by that court reveals that its disposition was predicated upon a new finding of fact. Because the new determination of fact, rather than any determination of law, led to the reversal, this appeal does not lie (CPL 450.90, subd 2, par [a]; see, e.g., People v Bay, 54 NY2d 808, decided herewith).
