Matter of Corr v. Clavin

In Matter of Corr v. Clavin (96 Misc.2d 185 [1978]), the court stated that "the correct interpretation of CPL 180.40 is that it is an exception to CPL 190.55 (subd 2) and permits a revesting of the jurisdiction in the lower court for CPL 180.50 purposes. Thus, when read together, these two statutes mean that the District Attorney must present a pending felony to the Grand Jury unless the case is returned to the lower court for reconsideration and upon reconsideration the matter is prosecuted as a misdemeanor. Thus, to repeat, the constitutional protection of section 6 of article I of the New York State Constitution does not apply."
