We add only that there was no abuse of discretion in ordering that respondent must accept State-ready inmates from petitioner’s custody within 14 days of sentencing unless exigent circumstances which justify a further limited delay are present in a particular case. (See also, Matter of Ayers v Coughlin, 72 NY2d 346 [decided today]).
