No. 217 SSM 19

[*1]The People & c., Respondent,

v

James M. Roshia, Jr. Appellant.




Submitted by Albert F. Lawrence, for appellant.

Submitted by Alexander Lesyk, Esq., for respondent.



MEMORANDUM:

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed. Defendant was indicted by a grand jury, a sexual assault evidence kit was taken from the victim, and County Court's order directing defendant to provide a DNA sample was authorized by statute (CPL 240.40[2][b][v]). Accordingly, County Court did not err in granting the People's application directing defendant to provide a buccal swab for testing.
