New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York v. Anthony O'Brien
June 23, 198256 N.Y.2d 1009
Summary
The Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that a defendant who enters a guilty plea forfeits the right to assert a speedy‑trial claim under CPL 30.30 and cannot preserve that claim for appellate review by obtaining prosecutor consent and court approval at the time of the plea.
