People v. Anderson

In People v. Anderson, 66 N.Y.2d 529 (1985), the Court of Appeals stated that when considering a delay that occurs after the People state ready "it is the People's delay alone that is to be considered, except where that delay directly 'results from' action taken by the defendant within the meaning of subdivisions 4(a), 4(b), 4(c) or 4(e), or is occasioned by exceptional circumstances arising out of defendant's action within the meaning of subdivision 4(g), for otherwise the causal relationship required by those subdivisions is not present." Thus, to be entitled to an exclusion when they are not ready, the People must demonstrate that the delay "resulted from" the defendant's conduct. C.P.L. 30.30(4).
