Holmberg v. County of Albany

In Holmberg v. County of Albany, 291 AD2d 610 [2002] lv denied 98 N.Y.2d 604 [2002]) the plaintiff argued that the County mistakenly added three days of additional confinement in calculating the length of his jail term as reflected in his sentencing minutes and the certificate of conviction. Plaintiff alleged that had he been released on his correct release date, he would not have violated the conditions of his work release program when he failed to appear for work following his arrest for driving while intoxicated and would not have spent additional time in jail. The Court found the order valid on its face and "'sufficient to protect officials who carried out its mandates' from liability for false imprisonment" (Holmberg v. County of Albany, 291 AD2d at 613.)
