DARRELL L. TAYLOR, 04-B-0483, PETITIONER,v.THOMAS M. POOLE, SUPERINTENDENT OF FIVE POINTS CORRECTIONAL FACILITY, RESPONDENT.
I. Introduction
Petitioner Darrell Taylor ("petitioner") filed this pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 challenging his conviction on February 17, 2004, of Gang Assault in the First Degree (N.Y. Penal L. § 120.07)), and Assault in the First Degree (Penal L. § 120.10[1]). Following a jury trial in Genesee County Court before Judge Robert Noonan, petitioner was sentenced as a second violent felony offender to concurrent, determinate terms of imprisonment of twenty-five years and five years of post-release supervision. Sentencing Tr. at 21-22.
II. Factual Background and Procedural History
On the morning of January 25, 2003, in Batavia, New York, petitioner and two accomplices*fn1 entered a home where James Wilcox ("the victim") was visiting his friend Marcia Weber ("Weber") and beat him with a baseball bat and a hammer while he sat and worked on a crossword puzzle. The victim suffered serious physical injuries that required him to spend several days in the hospital and left him with long-term vision impairment.
Petitioner was charged in Genesee County with Gang Assault in the First Degree (N.Y. Penal L. § 120.07), Assault in the First Degree (Penal L. § 120.10[1]), and two counts of Burglary in the First Degree (Penal L. § 140.30[2], [3]). Following a jury trial, petitioner was found guilty of the assault charges and acquitted of the burglary charges. Trial Tr. 591. He was sentenced as a second violent felony offender to two concurrent, determinate terms of imprisonment of twenty-five years, and five years of post-release supervision. Sentencing Tr. 21-22.
Through counsel, petitioner filed an appellate brief raising six grounds: (1) the evidence was legally insufficient to support petitioner's convictions and the verdict was against the weight of the evidence; (2) the trial court erred in denying petitioner's motion to dismiss the case; (3) the trial court's partial denial of his Sandoval motion was improper; (4) the trial court improperly admitted into evidence of photograph of the victim; (5) the trial court erred in failing to charge third-degree assault as a lesser-included offense; and (6) the sentence was "cruel and inhumane." See Petitioner's ("Pet'r") Appellate Br. 2-44. In a supplemental pro se brief, petitioner claimed that he was denied effective assistance of trial counsel and also alleged a confrontation clause violation. See Pet'r Supplemental Br. 2-22. The Appellate Division, Fourth Department, unanimously affirmed petitioner's judgment of conviction, dismissing petitioner's claims on procedural grounds as well as on the merits. People v. Taylor, 19 A.D.3d 1100 (4th Dept.); lv. denied 5 N.Y.3d 810 (2005).
On March 5, 2005, petitioner filed a motion for vacatur pursuant to New York Crim. Proc. Law ("C.P.L.") § 440.10 on the basis of newly-discovered evidence. Petitioner produced an affidavit signed by his co-defendant, William Robinson, which purportedly exonerated petitioner. See Mot. dated 3/5/2005; Respondent's ("Resp't") Ex. J. The Genesee County Court denied petitioner's motion. See Decision and Order, No. 4575, dated 4/8/2005; Resp't Ex. K. Leave to appeal that decision was denied by the Fourth Department on November 28, 2005. Resp't Ex. N.
Petitioner then filed a timely petition for habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, alleging nine grounds for relief: (1) ineffective assistance of trial counsel; (2) a violation of petitioner's Sixth Amendment right to confrontation; (3) actual innocence; (4) the trial court erred in denying petitioner's motion to dismiss the case against him; (5) improperly admitted evidence; (6) the trial court erred when it refused to charge third-degree assault as a lesser-included offense; (7) insufficiency of the evidence; (8) the sentence is "cruel and inhumane"; and (9) the trial court improperly ruled on petitioner's Sandoval motion. For the reasons that follow, the petition for writ of habeas corpus is denied and the action is dismissed.
III. Discussion
A. General Principles Applicable to Federal Habeas Review
1. Standard of Review
To prevail under 28 U.S.C. § 2254, as amended in 1996, a petitioner seeking federal review of his conviction must demonstrate that the state court's adjudication of his federal constitutional claim resulted in a decision that was contrary to or involved an unreasonable application of clearly established Supreme Court precedent, or resulted in a decision that was based on an unreasonable factual determination in light of the evidence presented in state court. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d)(1), (2); Williams v. Taylor, 529 U.S. 362, 375-76 (2000).
2. Exhaustion Requirement
"An application for a writ of habeas corpus on behalf of a person in custody pursuant to a judgment of a State court shall not be granted unless it appears that . . . the applicant has exhausted the remedies available in the courts of the State. . . ." 28 U.S.C. § 2254(b)(1)(A); see, e.g., O'Sullivan v. Boerckel, 526 U.S. 838, 843-44 (1999); accord, e.g., Bossett v. Walker, 41 F.3d 825, 828 (2d Cir.1994), cert. denied, 514 U.S. 1054 (1995). "The exhaustion requirement is not satisfied unless the federal claim has been 'fairly presented' to the state courts." Daye v. Attorney General, 696 F.2d 186, 191 (2d Cir.1982) (en banc), cert. denied, 464 U.S. 1048 (1984).*fn2
3. Adequate and Independent State Grounds Doctrine
"It is now axiomatic that 'cases in which a state prisoner has defaulted his federal claims in state court pursuant to an independent and adequate state procedural rule, federal habeas review of the claims is barred.'" Dunham v. Travis, 313 F.3d 724, 729 (quoting Coleman v. Thompson, 501 U.S. 722, 750 (1991)). "A habeas petitioner may bypass the independent and adequate state ground bar by demonstrating a constitutional violation that resulted in a fundamental miscarriage of justice, i.e., that he is actually innocent of the crime for which he has been convicted." Id. (citing Schlup v. Delo, 513 U.S. 298, 321 (1995); Murray v. Carrier, 477 U.S. 478, 496 (1986)).
Although the Supreme Court "has repeatedly cautioned 'that the [independent and adequate state law ground] doctrine applies to bar consideration on federal habeas of federal claims that have been defaulted under state law,'" id. (quoting Lambrix v. Singletary, 520 U.S. 518, 523 (1997) (emphasis added by Second Circuit), the Second Circuit has observed that "it is not the case 'that the procedural-bar issue must invariably be resolved first; only that it ordinarily should be[,]'" id. (quoting Lambrix, 520 U.S. at 525 (stating that bypassing procedural questions to reach the merits of a habeas petition is justified in rare situations, "for example, if the [the underlying issue] are easily resolvable against the habeas petitioner, whereas the procedural-bar issue involved complicated issues of state law")).
B. Merits of the Petition
1. Ineffective Assistance of Counsel (Ground One)
Petitioner asserts that he received constitutionally ineffective assistance of counsel because his trial attorney committed the following errors: (1) he failed to conduct a pre-trial investigation of petitioner's case; (2) he failed to challenge the composition of the jury venire; and (3) he failed to call petitioner's co-defendant, William Robinson(a/k/a "Warrior") as a witness. Petition ("Pet.") ¶ 21(A). (Dkt. #1). Petitioner presented this claim to the Appellate Division in a supplemental pro se brief, which held that the claim had no merit. Taylor, 19 A.D.3d at 1100.
To establish that he was deprived of his Sixth Amendment right to the effective assistance of trial counsel, a petitioner must show that (1) his attorney's performance was deficient, and that (2) this deficient performance prejudiced his defense. Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 687 (1984). Deficiency is measured by an objective standard of reasonableness, and prejudice is demonstrated by a showing of a "reasonable probability" that, but for counsel's unprofessional errors, the result of the trial would have been different. Id. at 694. "A reasonable probability is a probability sufficient to undermine confidence in the outcome of the proceeding." Id. To succeed, a petitioner challenging counsel's representation must overcome a "strong presumption that [his attorney's] conduct falls within the wide range of reasonable professional assistance." Id. at 689. A reviewing court "must judge the reasonableness of counsel's challenged conduct on the facts of the particular case, viewed as of the time of counsel's conduct," id., and may not second-guess defense counsel's strategy. Id. at 690. Therefore, to prevail on a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, petitioner must show that counsel's performance was so objectively unreasonable that "counsel was not functioning as the 'counsel' guaranteed the defendant by the Sixth Amendment." Id. at 687.
On the outset, I note that petitioner's attorney, whose efforts resulted in petitioner's acquittal of two counts of burglary, provided commendable performance. Nonetheless, petitioner asserts that his attorney failed to conduct an adequate pre-trial investigation. Specifically, that defense counsel did not interview petitioner's co-defendant, Warrior, in preparation for petitioner's trial. Pet. ¶ 21(A)(1); Pet'r Supplemental Br. 10-14. According to petitioner, Warrior would have helped petitioner's defense because Warrior purportedly absolved petitioner of any responsibility for the crimes in an affidavit executed on November 3, 2004, nearly a year after petitioner's trial ended. See Resp't Ex. J.
The record does not indicate whether counsel interviewed Warrior in advance of petitioner's trial. Assuming, arguendo, he did not, there is nothing to suggest that Warrior's testimony would have assisted in petitioner's defense. Nothing in the record indicates that, at the time of petitioner's trial, counsel had reason to believe that Warrior was able and willing to exonerate petitioner. Months earlier, Warrior testified at his own trial, in which he mounted a defense of mistaken identity, alleging that he was not present at the scene of the assault. See Resp't Ex. K at 5. Thus, counsel would have had no reason to believe that Warrior was prepared to testify at petitioner's trial that he alone [Warrior] attacked the victim, as he later asserted in the affidavit of November 3, 2004. In any event, because Warrior's appeal was pending at the time of petitioner's trial, Warrior could have still exercised his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination if called to testify at petitioner's trial. See People v. Shannon, 207 A.D.2d 727, 728 (1st Dept. 1994); People v. Chambers, 184 A.D.2d 716, 717-18 (2d Dept. 1992).
For the same reason, counsel cannot be faulted for failing to call Warrior as a witness. Petitioner has not shown that there is a reasonable probability that summoning Warrior to testify would have changed the outcome of petitioner's trial. Strickland, 466 U.S. at 694.
Petitioner's claim that his attorney was deficient for failing to object to the jury venire on the ground that ever member thereof was white, is also meritless. "[T]he Sixth Amendment requires that jury panels be drawn from a source representing a 'fair cross section' of the community in which the defendant is tried." U.S. v. Jackman, 46 F.3d 1240 (2d Cir. 1995) (quoting Taylor v. Louisiana, 419 U.S. 522, 536 (1975)). "[T]his fair cross section requirement applies only to the large jury pool involving the source of the jurors and not to the trial petit jury. Concepcion v. U.S., 181 F.Supp.2d 206, 226 (E.D.N.Y. 2002) (citing Taylor, 419 U.S. at 538) ("A defendant is not entitled to a jury of any particular composition"). Put another way, the Sixth Amendment guarantees only that the defendant will have the possibility of a jury that reflects a fair cross-section of the community. Roman v. Abrams, 822 F.2d 214, 229 (2d Cir 1987).
To establish a prima facie case of a viable "fair cross section" claim under the Sixth Amendment, the petitioner must demonstrate that the under-representation of the racial the group claimed to be excluded is the result of "systematic exclusion of the group in the jury selection process." Duren v. Missouri, 439 U.S. 357, 364 (1979).*fn3 Moreover, under the Equal Protection Clause, the petitioner also bears the burden of showing that the selection procedure is not racially neutral, i.e., is the result of intentional discrimination by the state. Alston v. Manson, 791 F.2d 255, 258 (2d Cir. 1986); Castaneda v. Partida, 430 U.S. 482, 494-95 (1977) (In order to show that equal protection violation has occurred in context of grand jury selection, defendant must show that procedure employed resulted in substantial under-representation of his race or of identifiable group to which he belongs.)
Here, petitioner merely contends that he was tried by an "all white jury", and "not one black or African American was included in the pool of prospective jurors," which was "significant" given the racial makeup of Genesee County. Traverse at 13. (Dkt. #19). This unsubstantiated assertion alone, however, is insufficient to show that the jury selection process as a whole systematically excluded black jurors, or that the juror selection procedure was the result of intentional discrimination. Petitioner's contention is simply too vague to provide a basis for a claim of ineffective assistance of trial counsel. See, e.g. Snitzel v. Murry, 371 F.Supp.2d 295, 305 (W.D.N.Y. 2004) ("[Petitioner's] claims of ineffective assistance of counsel are based entirely upon vague, unsubstantiated assertions of error. [He] has not come close to demonstrating that his counsel performed deficiently, let alone that he suffered prejudice as a result.")
In reviewing the entire record, I find that the alleged errors by trial counsel, considered independently and collectively, do not amount to constitutionally ineffective assistance. The Appellate Division did not unreasonably apply the standards set forth in Strickland v. Washington in rejecting petitioner's claim of ineffective assistance of trial counsel. This claim is therefore dismissed.
2. Confrontation Clause Violation (Ground Two)
Petitioner avers that the admission of a one-page document entitled "Emergency Department Nursing Triage Form" ("Triage Form") from the United Memorial Medical Center, where the victim sought treatment after the assault, violated petitioner's rights under the Confrontation Clause. Pet. ¶ 21(B). The Appellate Division ruled that petitioner's claim was without merit. 19 A.D.3d at 1100.
In Crawford v. Washington, 541 U.S. 36 (2004), the Supreme Court held that a prior testimonial statement made by a declarant who does not testify at trial may not be admitted into evidence unless the declarant is unable to testify and the defendant had an earlier opportunity to cross-examine the defendant. Crawford, 541 U.S. at 59-60. According to petitioner, the contents of Triage Form, stating that three individuals had attacked the alleged victim with a hammer and baseball bat, should have been excluded from evidence because "[t]he maker of the report was not made available for cross-examination." Pet. ¶ 21(B)(2).
First, nothing in the record indicates who the "maker" of the Triage Form was. Presumably, the victim gave the information to hospital personnel when he was interviewed in the Emergency Room. See Pet'r Appellate Br. at 9 ("[The victim] was examined at the hospital . . . at 1:15 am after he advised the ER that he'd been 'assaulted by men with a hammer and baseball bat.'"). In that instance there can be no Confrontation Clause violation because the victim, who made the statement, was clearly available to testify at trial and petitioner had a full and fair opportunity to cross-examine him. In any event, petitioner has not established that the statements made to hospital staff in furtherance of seeking care at the emergency room were testimonial in nature.*fn4 See Johnson v. Artus, No. 05 Civ. 8960(RMB)(DCF), 2008 WL 612619 at *3 (S.D.N.Y. 2008).
Moreover, petitioner's assertion that the Triage Form was used "to support the prosecutions [sic] case at summation," is belied by the record. The Triage Form was not mentioned during summation. T. 530-31.
Because the Appellate Division's ruling did not run afoul of the strictures of Crawford v. Washington, this claim is dismissed.
3. Legally Insufficient Evidence (Ground Seven)
Petitioner contends that the prosecution's evidence was legally insufficient to prove that he caused serious physical injury to another person, an element of both Gang Assault in the First Degree (Penal L. § 120.07) and Assault in the First Degree (Penal L. § 120.10[1]). Pet. ¶ 21(G), Traverse at 1-10. The Appellate Division dismissed this claim in part on procedural grounds and in part on the merits:
Defendant's motion to dismiss was directed only at the charge of assault in the first degree, and thus defendant failed to preserve for our review his present challenge to the legal sufficiency of the evidence with respect to the conviction of gang assault. Contrary to defendant's further contentions, the evidence is legally sufficient to support the conviction of assault in the first degree . . .
19 A.D.3d at 1100 (citations omitted).
Petitioner failed to preserve the legal insufficiency issue*fn5 for appellate review as to the gang assault charge, and the issue is thus procedurally barred from review in this Court under the adequate and independent state ground doctrine*fn6 . In the interest of judicial economy, however, I will proceed directly to the merits of petitioner's asserted legal-insufficiency claim rather than addressing the procedural bar issue, as the underlying claim is easily resolved. See, e.g. Lambrix v. Singletary, 520 U.S. 518, 525 (1997).
"[T]he Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment protects a defendant in a criminal case against conviction 'except upon proof beyond a reasonable doubt of every fact necessary to constitute the crime with which he is charged.'" Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 315 (1979) (quoting In re Winship, 397 U.S. 358, 364 (1970)). Such an inquiry "does not require a court to 'ask itself whether it believes that the evidence at the trial established guilt beyond a reasonable doubt,'" rather, "the relevant question is whether, after viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt." Id. at 318-19 (citations omitted; emphasis in original).
As the Supreme Court has instructed, this Court has reviewed the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, and construed in its favor all permissible inferences arising from the evidence. There was ample evidence upon which a rational jury could have found beyond a reasonable doubt that petitioner's conduct established the essential elements of the crimes of Gang Assault in the First Degree and Assault in the First Degree.*fn7 The victim and Weber testified to the events that transpired on the morning of January 25, 2003. They each recalled that petitioner and two other men entered Weber's apartment with two baseball bats and a claw hammer. Then men then beat the victim for several minutes without provocation. Weber recalled that the victim had visible injuries to his eye and arm, blood covered his face, neck and chest, and that there was blood on the floor of her apartment. Weber took the victim to the hospital immediately, where he began to lose consciousness. Additionally, the jury heard testimony that the attack left the victim with "extensive" pain, a broken eye socket, a broken cheek bone, multiple contusions, lacerations to his head, a knee injury, and multiple bumps and abrasions. Trial Tr. 236-38, 339, 388-98, 419-421., 447-48.
The testimony of Weber and the victim was corroborated by three photographs depicting the victim's injuries after the attack and medical records from the two hospitals where the victim was treated. Trial Tr. 326-29, 395-98, 401. Petitioner testified on his own behalf, claiming that he did not take part in the beating, and that the victim's injuries were the result of a fist-fight between the victim and Warrior. 474-76, 486-87, 490.
Questions of witness credibility belong to the fact-finder, and the arguments petitioner made on direct appeal and here were already presented to, and resolved by the jury at his trial. Accord, e.g., Garrett v. Perlman, 438 F.Supp.2d 467, 470 (S.D.N.Y. 2006) ("Petitioner's specific argument in support of this claim, that [the witness'] testimony was "incredible," is likewise not reviewable in habeas proceedings since credibility determinations are the province of the jury.") (citing Maldonado v. Scully, 86 F.3d 32, 35 (2d Cir. 1996) ("[A]ssessments of the weight of the evidence or the credibility of witnesses are for the jury and not grounds for reversal on [habeas] appeal."). Neither on direct appeal nor on federal habeas is a court reviewing a sufficiency of the evidence claim permitted to revisit the factfinder's determinations as to the witnesses' credibility and veracity. E.g., United States v. Strauss, 999 F.2d 692, 696 (2d Cir. 1993) ("[T]he jury is exclusively responsible for determining a witness' credibility.") (citing United States v. Roman, 870 F.2d 65, 71 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, 490 U.S. 1109 (1989)). Here, the jury was entitled to believe the state witnesses despite that both the victim and Weber had criminal histories and were known to use drugs and/or alcohol regularly. See, e.g. Gruttola v. Hammock, 639 F.2d 922, 928 (2d Cir. 1981).
The proof presented at petitioner's trial adequately satisfies the due process standard set forth in Jackson. Habeas relief accordingly is not warranted on petitioner's claims that the first degree assault and first degree gang assault convictions were not based upon legally sufficient evidence.
4. The Remainder of Petitioner's Claims do not Present Questions of Federal Constitutional Law
a. Alleged Errors by the Trial Court Are Not Cognizable on Habeas Review
Petitioner argues that the county court made numerous errors during his trial. Namely that, (1) the court should not have admitted the victim's photograph after the assault into evidence; (2) the court should have charged a lesser-included offense to the jury; and (3) that petitioner's motion to dismiss should have been granted. Pet. ¶ 21(D)-(F). A review of the entire record supports none of these claims. Generally, alleged errors of state law are not cognizable on habeas review. See Estelle v. McGuire, 502 U.S. 62, 68 (1992). Here, petitioner has not demonstrated that the alleged errors were in fact, violative of state law. See, e.g., Brooks v. Artuz, 97 Civ. 3300, 2000 WL 1532918 at *6, 9 (S.D.N.Y. Oct. 17, 2000) (petitioner did not demonstrate an error under state evidentiary law, "much less" an error of constitutional magnitude). Nor does he argue that the errors violated an identifiable constitutional right. See Taylor v. Curry, 708 F.2d 886, 891 (2d Cir. 1983)("Erroneous evidentiary rulings do not automatically rise to the level of constitutional error sufficient to warrant issuance of a writ of habeas corpus. Rather, the writ would issue only where petitioner can show that the error deprived her of a fundamentally fair trial."); accord Rosario v. Kuhlman, 839 F.2d 918 (2d Cir. 1988). This claim is thus not properly before this Court for habeas review and is dismissed.
b. Actual Innocence
Petitioner claims that "newly discovered" evidence, specifically, affidavit executed by Warrior on November 3, 2004, exonerates petitioner of responsibility for these crimes. Pet. ¶ 21(C). The Genesee County court rejected petitioner's § 440 motion on the merits, finding that petitioner failed to show that he exercised due diligence in obtaining the statement, and that, in any event, it was improbable that petitioner would have received a more favorable verdict at retrial. See Decision and Order, No. 4575, dated 4/8/2005; Resp't Ex. K.
The Second Circuit has demonstrated a reluctance to review stand-alone claims of actual innocence. "A claim 'based on newly discovered evidence ha[s] never been held to state a ground for federal habeas relief absent an independent constitutional violation occurring in the underlying state criminal proceeding.'" Ortega v. Duncan, 333 F.3d 102, 108 (2d Cir. 2003) (quoting Herrera v. Collins, 506 U.S. 390, 400 (1993); see also Greene v. Walker, 205 F.3d 1322 (2d Cir. 1999) (unpublished opinion). The Supreme Court in Herrera reasoned that, "[f]ew rulings would be more disruptive of our federal system than to provide for federal habeas review of freestanding claims of actual innocence." 506 U.S. at 401. This rule is grounded in the principle that habeas courts do not sit to correct errors of fact, but rather to ensure that individuals are not imprisoned in violation of their federal constitutional rights. Herrera, 506 U.S. at 400.
The majority of district courts in this circuit have consistently held the same. See Green v. Walsh, No. 03CV00908 (GBD)(DCF), 2006 WL 2389306 at *18 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 17, 2006) ("Although Petitioner contends that he is actually innocent of the crimes for which he was convicted, and that Smith was the true perpetrator of D.W.'s rape and assault , a stand-alone claim of actual innocence is not cognizable on habeas review.") (internal citations and quotations omitted); Ortiz v. Woods, 463 F.Supp.2d 380 (W.D.N.Y. 2006) (noting the Supreme Court's declaration in Herrera that absent an independent constitutional violation at trial, a claim of newly discovered evidence does not provide a basis for habeas relief); Bravo v. Couture, No. 98-CV-8050 (JBW), 03-MISC-0066 (JBW), 2003 WL 22284147 at *4 ("Habeas corpus review does not extend to 'freestanding claims of actual innocence.'").
Adopting the reasoning of Herrera, the Second Circuit, this Court finds that petitioner's stand-alone claim of "actual innocence" is not cognizable in this habeas proceeding, and the claim is dismissed.
c. Cruel and Inhumane Sentence
Petitioner claims that he is entitled to a writ of habeas corpus because his sentence is "cruel and inhumane." Pet. ¶ 21(H). The Appellate Division determined that petitioner's sentence was "not unduly harsh or severe." Taylor, 19 A.D.3d at 1100. Although petitioner's claim calls to mind the constitutional prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment contained in the Eighth Amendment, see U.S. Const. Amend. VIII, petitioner is not entitled to habeas relief on this ground.
A federal habeas court must grant considerable deference to legislatively-mandated terms of imprisonment. For that reason, "'successful challenges to the proportionality of particular sentences' should be 'exceedingly rare.'" Hutto v. Davis, 454 U.S. 370, 374 (1982) (quoting Rummel v. Estelle, 455 U.S. 263, 272 (1980)); accord Solem v. Helm, 463 U.S. 277, 290 (1983) ("Reviewing courts, of course, should grant substantial deference to the broad authority that legislatures necessarily possess in determining the types and limits of punishments for crimes, as well as to the discretion that trial courts possess in sentencing convicted criminals.")
Moreover, the Second Circuit has held that no federal constitutional issue is presented where the sentence is within the range prescribed by state law. See White v. Keane, 969 F.2d 1381, 1383 (2d Cir. 1992). Here, petitioner's sentence is within the range prescribed by New York law, and petitioner does not claim otherwise. See N.Y. Penal L. § 70.04(3) (authorizing a twenty-five year determinate sentence for a class B felony committed by a second violent felony offender). And, although petitioner's sentence is the maximum penalty that the trial court could have imposed under New York's sentencing statute, petitioner does not argue that the sentence is "barbaric" or "disproportionate to the crime[s] committed." Solem, 463 U.S. at 284. Rather, petitioner alleges that his sentence is unfair because: (1) his sole previous violent felony offense occurred when he was eighteen years-old; and (2) he has a strong and supportive family unit, including a wife, three children, and a large extended family. Pet. ¶ 21(H); Pet'r Appellate Br. 43. This is not, however, one of the rare cases where the "reviewing court . . . [is] required to engage in an extended analysis to determine that a sentence is not constitutionally disproportionate." Solem, 463 U.S. at 290 n.16. For this reason, petitioner's sentencing claim is not cognizable on habeas review.
d. Sandoval Violation
Petitioner argues that his constitutional rights were violated by a Sandoval*fn8 ruling that allowed the prosecutor to question him about five prior convictions relating to various crimes, including weapon and drug possession, assault, and unauthorized use of a vehicle. Pet. ¶ 21(I); Trial Tr. 494-500.
The Appellate Division rejected petitioner's Sandoval claim as meritless: "County Court's Sandoval ruling does not constitute an abuse of discretion inasmuch as the court properly balanced the probative value of the evidence of prior crimes committed by defendant against the danger of undue prejudice to him." 19 A.D.3d at 1100.
"A claim based on an alleged Sandoval violation deals with an evidentiary question and presents an issue for habeas relief only if the petitioner establishes that the trial court committed error that constitutes a deprivation of a constitutionally recognized right." Mastin v. Senkowski, 297 F.Supp.2d 558 (W.D.N.Y. 2003) (citing Dunnigan v. Keane, 137 F.3d 117, 125 (2d Cir.1998)). The evidence introduced must be "so extremely unfair that its admission violates the fundamental conceptions of justice," i.e., where such evidence is "sufficiently material to provide the basis for conviction or to remove a reasonable doubt that would have existed on the record without it." Dunnigan, 137 F.3d at 125 (internal quotations omitted).
Petitioner's testimony elicited on cross-examination regarding his prior offenses was not sufficiently material to provide the basis for his conviction of assault and gang assault, or to remove a reasonable doubt that would have existed on the record without it. Petitioner's lengthy criminal record included one charge for a crime bearing any similarity to those that he currently stands convicted of, an assault charge from 1989. Trial Tr. 494-96. Given that the charge preceded petitioner's trial by fourteen years, it is unlikely that the jurors convicted him because they believed, after hearing his cross-examination testimony, that he had a propensity to commit assault. His testimony did serve to demonstrate his willingness to place his own interests ahead of society's, exemplified by his willingness to use vehicles that he was not authorized to use, to carry dangerous weapons in public spaces, and to repeatedly fail to appear for scheduled court appearances. Id. at 494-500. Offered for that legitimate purpose, the evidence concerning petitioner's criminal record cannot be said to have violated "the fundamental conceptions of justice." See Mastin, 297 F.Supp.2d at 593. Petitioner has thus not alleged an error of a constitutional dimension, and this claim is dismissed.
IV. Conclusion
For the reasons stated above, Darrell Taylor's petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 is denied, and the action is dismissed. Because the petitioner has failed to make a substantial showing of a denial of a constitutional right, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2), the Court declines to issue a certificate of appealability. See, e.g. Lucidore v. New York State Div. of Parole, 209 F.3d 107, 111-113 (2d Cir. 2000). The Court hereby certifies, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that any appeal from this judgment would not be taken in good faith and therefore denies leave to appeal as a poor person. Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438 (1962).

Love this place! The Dagwood is my favorite sandwich! Servers are always great! Prices are very fair for the amount of food you receive. A true Bay City gem!!

Mulligans is a great place to eat, drink and chill. We have an annual trip with another couple in early July that coincides with the downtown car show and cancer benefit. After cruising the streets we like to drop into Mulligans. Had excellent daquaris this year, good food and our waitress was fantastically friendly. At affordable prices!
Thank you for your business and great comments, just wondering why you only gave me 3 stars when it sounds like you a great experience.

If you are thinking of submitting a project, please review the Eligibility and Submissions requirements which you can download from our Lumen Awards page. There have been a few changes since last year. Click Here for Details >
The 17th Annual Student Lighting Competition is Accepting Applications!
Deadline is February 15, 2017
This year's theme, LIGHT, SCALED, challenges students to construct a three-dimensional study that explores the scale of light and its impact on perception. Light informs our perception of scale and space, changing how we see the world around us. As we move through our environment and shift our perspective, the scale of light influences our perception. Light is present at every scale: as a traveling photon, a playful luminaire, or the memorable Manhattan skyline. So students, get your thinking caps on for another year of creative lighting design.

This is a fantastic cookie recipe, This has become my basic batter recipe for most cookies. It also make really good choco chip and M&M cookies. Add a bit of cocoa you've got yourself a wonderful chocolate batter as well. This is the best recipe I've come across in a really long time. They are moist and chewy. EVEN WHEN FROZEN, they are still chewy!! Thanks for posting such a wonderful recipe!!! If I could I would give more stars*****FANTASTIC RECIPE Thanks for the post
I've been making these cookies for a couple of years now and this has become one of my most requested recipes. I've begun using this for my chocolate chip cookies as well substituting semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped walnuts for the white chocolate and almonds. They come out perfect every time. I think it is the combination of the butter and shortening that does the trick. Thanks for a GREAT cookie recipe.

If you're a SiriusXM customer, you may have realized that the satellite radio service's online player for Mac is seemingly dysfunctional. I had tried multiple different browsers, including Safari, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome, but I was not able to achieve music playback through the SiriusXM online player whatsoever. Frustrated, I searched the web for alternative players for Mac; thankfully, I came across the simplistic, customizable app Radium. Not only does it support subscription-based services like Sirius, but it also supports hundreds of different free streaming radio stations worldwide.
The application sits atop your Mac in the menu next to Spotlight search. The radio stations that are available for playback are presented in a tidy drop-down list, including a search bar for finding specific stations. Radium works with the popular Growl notification system on Mac, which provides playback information sporadically while you're doing other tasks on your Mac such as word processing or browsing the web. Furthermore, Radium has social networking integration with Facebook, Twitter, and Google Buzz; the latter of those three, however, is being discontinued as we speak. Along with SiriusXM, Radium also supports Live365, Sky Radio, Last.fm, K-PIG, and several other streaming services. Radium is available online and in the Mac App Store for $24.99 with a 30-day trial.

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, RESPONDENT,v.PEDRITO MENDEZ, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Eduardo Padro, J.) rendered July 2, 2007, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the second and third degrees and criminal sale of a controlled substance in or near school grounds, and sentencing him, as a second felony drug offender, to an aggregate term of 81/2 years, unanimously affirmed.
This opinion is uncorrected and subject to revision before publication in the Official Reports.
Saxe, J.P., Catterson, Moskowitz, DeGrasse, Abdus-Salaam, JJ.
We find no error in the court's rulings on defendant's requests for missing witness charges. The record establishes that a ghost undercover officer was not in a position to provide any material, non-cumulative testimony regarding the sale for which defendant was convicted (see People v Dianda, 70 NY2d 894 [1987]), since the transaction took place at an indoor location outside the presence of the ghost officer, there was no evidence suggesting he could have made any relevant observations, and "testimony that his general function was to observe the undercover purchaser did not establish his actual position" (People v Tavarez, 288 AD2d 120, 120 [2001], lv denied 97 NY2d 709 [2002]). Defendant did not preserve his claim that the court should have delivered a missing witness charge concerning the failure of the ghost officer to testify concerning the initial, presale meeting between the testifying undercover officer and defendant, and we decline to review it in the interest of justice. As an alternative holding, we similarly reject it on the merits. Finally, defendant's claim that the missing witness charge the court provided with regard to a confidential informant should have been expanded to include the informant's presence at the initial meeting is without merit, because the informant's testimony about that event would have been entirely cumulative (see People v Macana, 84 NY2d 173, 180 [1994]).
The court properly exercised its discretion in denying defendant's mistrial motion, made after the undercover officer made a brief unresponsive comment, cut off in midsentence, that defendant was a known subject wanted by the narcotics bureau. The court struck this testimony and gave thorough curative instructions that were sufficient to prevent any prejudice (see People v Santiago, 52 NY2d 865 [1981]), and which the jury is presumed to have followed (see People v Davis, 58 NY2d 1102, 1104 [1983]). Moreover, the officer's remark was not unduly prejudicial under the circumstances of the case, because the jury was well aware that defendant was the target of a long term investigation.

text: I was just trying to pwn an iPod touch previously restored to 1.1.4 through iTunes 7.5 (although I then installed 7.7 before trying out Winpwn 22.214.171.124 RC1). However, after following the steps (although I made the mistake of using what may have been older linked iTunes.dlls for Winpwn to use, since it already had the dlls inside as of 1.0), the pwnage stopped midway while using a 1.1.4 restore, and the screen went black. Tried to turn it on with the standby button, nothing happens. Also, it won't connect to iTunes. No recognition in Windows (the USB sound doesn't ring), either. So when I try to run diagnostics tests in iTunes on the iPod, it won't recognize it. Winpwn also doesn't recognize it, asking me to "connect the iPhone in Recoverymode". The iPod is connected to the USB and the power at the time was already full. It won't wake up no matter if I hold the home and sleep/standby button combo down for 10 seconds or a whole minute. It just won't wake up for any reason. I know that this issue is similar to this thread, but I was using the "more secure" 22.214.171.124 of Winpwn. I'm probably more fearful that this may have affected the hardware connection or detection between the bricked iPod touch and the PC that won't recognize it at all. For the record, I was having issues with trying to put the iPod touch in blank DFU mode rather than the recovery mode with the iTunes+USB icon. While connected though USB, it continued to boot back automatically into the iTunes+USB icon mode rather than the blank mode that it was doing under iTunes 7.5. That's why I resorted to the Winpwn method (which looked conspicuously like Ziphone, another GUI jailbreak solution that messed up stuff like SSH access on the same iPod touch), since I couldn't manually DFU the iPod touch. Finally, this is a gift iPod touch from a relative, who bought it at a third party rather than at an Apple store (it was either Best Buy or Wal-Mart), so I don't think I can take this to Apple and say that I was trying to legally upgrade to 2.0 (which was my future intention), when I don't even have a warranty with them. If this comes across as a sob story from a noob, I apologize. I've jailbroken my iPod touch before (even before I touched Ziphone or Winpwn), so I wasn't expecting this outcome at all. ------------------double post merged------------------OK, after the umpteenth try (not literally) with pressing home+standby for 10 sec. and releasing standby while keeping home pressed until you hear the USB sound, iTunes finally opened and the screen went white for a while. Then it went back to black, and itunes was "Waiting for iPod" for quite a bit, then it popped up with an "unknown error (1605)".

In Africa today, malaria is understood to be both a disease of poverty and a cause of poverty. Nevertheless, malaria is a preventable and curable disease. According to the Abuja declaration, the goal is to halve malaria mortality in Africa by 2010. (WHO, 2008, Status Report on Malaria in the African region). This report also states that most of the African countries within the region are attempting universal access to malaria prevention and control in the at risk areas. Fundamental is the control and management of the vector. There is a need for accurate and effective monitoring and evaluation systems as a resource to inform decisions that will assist in achieving these goals. Partnership between and within countries are essential to assist with access to and sharing of resources. The primary objective of MALAREO is to develop technology and implement EO capacities within malaria vector control and management programs in southern Africa. To achieve this objective, knowledge exchange and capability will occur in two directions (EU <-> SA). By doing this, the project will contribute to the installation of an EO monitoring cell that will support the daily work of the national malaria control programs.
Agency: Cordis | Branch: FP7 | Program: CSA-CA | Phase: ENERGY-2007-3.7-01;ENERGY-2007-7.3-01 | Award Amount: 1.34M | Year: 2008
The main objective of the project is to develop a common methodology for gathering information on biomass potential using terrestrial and earth observations. This objective will be achieved by the implementation of a systematic assessment work plan and will result in the establishment of a harmonised approach and an e-training tool for dissemination. The e-training environment will be an important tool for reaching the much-needed European harmonisation, whereas a Stakeholder Platform will facilitate access to reliable and common datasets on biomass potential and as such it will offer a more efficient use of the available European biomass feedstock. The project will: - Develop a common methodology for gathering information on biomass potential using terrestrial and earth observations - Use e-technologies for disseminating information, best practices on the use and applicability of developed harmonised methodology
Agency: Cordis | Branch: H2020 | Program: RIA | Phase: SC5-16-2014 | Award Amount: 4.98M | Year: 2015
The objective of the project SWOS is to develop a monitoring and information service focussing on wetland ecosystems. Globally wetlands are the ecosystems with the highest rate of loss. This is alarming, considering their significance as biodiversity hotspots and ecosystems with a central role in the water cycle, including improving water quality and reducing water scarcity, in climate regulation and the economic benefit gained from using their services. A key limitation to their more effective conservation, sustainable management and restoration is the missing knowledge underpinning the application of European policy by Member States. Under the Biodiversity Strategy, Member States have recently committed to the mapping and assessment of ecosystem services (MAES); this provides a key instrument for an improved integration of wetlands in policy. SWOS will take full advantage of the Sentinel satellites and integrate results from the ESA Globwetland projects. Status maps and indicators, as well as near real-time observations will allow the assessment of biodiversity and the monitoring of dynamic changes in an unmatched temporal and spatial resolution. The Service Portal will allow the integration and web-based analysis of new maps and in-situ measurements and provide a unique entry point to locate, access and connect existing information and databases. It follows a GEOSS compatible data-broker approach and adopts international standards. SWOS contributes to establishing a Global Wetland Observing System, as requested by Ramsar, it will facilitate local and EU monitoring tasks and input into international reporting obligations. SWOS will position Europe in a leading role for wetland activities within the GEO ecosystem, biodiversity, water, land cover tasks. The direct involvement of users working at different scales and support of key user organizations ensures the usability and acceptance of the service, the harmonization with related activities and a long-term impact.
Agency: Cordis | Branch: FP7 | Program: CP-FP-SICA | Phase: SPA.2010.3.2-02 | Award Amount: 616.11K | Year: 2011
The REDD Fast Logging Assessment & Monitoring Environment (REDD-FLAME) project will design, prototype and demonstrate a system capable of monitoring tropical and sub-tropical forests using high-resolution radar (and optical) imagery acquired by Earth Observation satellites. By focussing on early detection of logging activities, the system will provide the means to quickly identify the first signs of deforestation and thus act as a tool to control resource use and sustainable development within these fragile and valuable environments. The system will form a high-resolution add-on for existing (semi-)operational low- to mid-resolution systems, providing hot-spot monitoring for areas at highest risk of deforestation. As such, it could be integrated into national or regional forest monitoring centres and provide inputs for large scale carbon emission assessments in the context of the UN-REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) Programme. The system will be developed in collaboration with investigators from developing countries on three continents in an effort to build lasting partnerships and transfer European expertise. Sites in Indonesia, Brazil and Mozambique have been chosen to represent a variety of forest types and deforestation issues, and thus to test the systems versatility. The REDD-FLAME project will bring benefits to a wide range of parties concerned with deforestation in tropical and sub-tropical environments and build capacity in the host countries for managing forest resources and carbon balances. By implementing a dedicated version of REDD-FLAME for each participating ICP country, results targeted at their specific monitoring requirements, based on the strategies and policies for deforestation in place, will be provided to give timely information on logging activities and deforestation.

I did not get the room , I was supposed to get.Posted 20-Oct-2016
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Should be cleaner. Hotel should be renovated, better management.
Location: Very little around the area.
Got a room wit a full size bed instead of a queen size. There was roaches crawling around in the bathroom. Carpet was thirty. Room was smelly. Utensils were very limited and old. After two nights I could not stay there any longer. Was charged $25.00 extra for checking out early. Would not recommend to any one. M.D.

Roach MotelPosted 15-Jul-2016 on Orbitz
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Insect controll
Location: Didn't explore but I'd say there was much to do if you were there to visit Orlando.
The hotel was full of a verity of small insects but mostly it was full of roaches. I did have a small spider and its web on my luggage as well. Other than that, the bed was horrible, the AC was loud and made noises like it was broken, and there were many scrupulous looking people everywhere. The smell of illegal drug related activities were everywhere! Also even though I was only staying one night, they still wanted a $100 dollar deposit on the room. I was able to get a $50 deposit instead but I was still surprised. It's been 3 days and I still don't see the money returned in my account although the person checking us in did say this was a likely possibility. I'm not a big complainer but I find it that telling the truth in this situation is sounding very similar. I'd feel different if I was alone and was not bringing my wife along.

Analyzing e-mail isn't as simple as learning open and click-through rates. There's a lot of information beyond those basic metrics that tell us a great deal about how we can more effectively use e-mail.
Most analytics programs (and some e-mail vendors) allow e-mail to be tagged. Typically, this occurs in some form of a hierarchy, but sometimes it occurs via simpler metadata tagging. While every organization espouses its own best practices on tagging e-mail, I usually find tagging structures don't answer the specific business questions I (and my clients) are asking. To be fair, each industry has its own business needs.
Our clients tend to be multichannel retailers (B2B and B2C). In this column, I'll discuss how we tend to categorize e-mail for this industry. Of course, the actual tagging and hierarchies we use are tailored to specific clients and are confidential. But below is the high-level starting point for most of our clients.
We divide e-mail into major categories. The two we typically come across with all of our clients are campaign and triggered e-mail.
Campaign E-mail
These are traditional marketing messages, such as a Christmas sale, a back-to-school sale, or Valentine's Day specials. Weekly specials could also fall into this category. Campaign e-mail has the following characteristics:
- It's created by the marketing department.
- It's time or event based. The time might be Christmas. The event might be a new store opening or an end-of-the-season sale. Either way, campaigns are not generic, they're celebrating something specific.
- It may or may not be personalized
- A simple campaign might consist of only one message. A more complicated campaign includes several e-mail messages ("drops") that arrive on different days.
- Each e-mail drop might actually consist of different test versions of that message.
The business questions we want our analytics package to answer include:
- How are our campaigns performing in general?
- How is the specific campaign (e.g., "Valentine's Sale") doing?
- If this campaign had multiple drops, are there patterns we can see in how each drop performed?
- Within each drop, which test messages worked best?
- If we used various types of promotions (e.g., "Free Shipping" vs. "10% off"), which are most effective overall?
Triggered E-mail
Triggered e-mail is automatically generated by the system. It includes both merchandising and back-end messages. Triggered e-mail has the following characteristics:
- It's automatically generated based on a user's action.
- It can be (and should be) highly personalized, based on what the user was doing on the Web site.
- It usually contains some sort of promotion or recommended product listing.
- It's not time or event specific (as campaign e-mail is).
Examples of triggered e-mail include:
- Registration thank you
- Order receipt (and cross-sell items)
- Notice of items still in the shopping cart
- Product suggestions within the category the recipient was browsing
- More information about viewed products
There are endless possibilities for these types of messages. As I've mentioned previously, these messages can be extremely profitable if well implemented.
Business questions we want to ask about triggered e-mail include:
- How effective is triggered e-mail in general?
- Which type of triggered e-mail performs best (e.g., abandoned cart e-mail, cross-sells after checkout, etc.)?
- What offer types are most effective in these e-mail messages (product links, category links, coupons, etc.)?
Setting Up the Hierarchies
Each analytics package organizes reporting in different ways. It should be clear from the structure of the above business questions, though, how you should effectively tag your e-mail messages.
Once systems are set up with these tags, you can watch the numbers and get a much higher level view of how e-mail marketing is performing. It's important to see how campaign e-mail performs against triggered e-mail. Some packages let you input how expensive an e-mail was to send. In packages that afford you that capability, don't just look at performance; examine net profit too. Campaign e-mail, for example, is typically more expensive to create because it involves the marketing and graphics departments. Triggered e-mail, on the other hand, is designed once, then filled in automatically by the system. Of course, that system costs money to build, and that cost must be amortized.
Although this column may seem like an e-mail primer to some, many advanced and successful companies still report on each e-mail individually or don't differentiate between campaign and triggered e-mail. Because they look too closely at each message and haven't organized their tagging with high-level business questions in mind, they don't have a clear picture of the e-mail marketing landscape. These categories (and business questions) are only the beginning of what a real tagging structure should look like. But it should be a good starting point for you to reassess how you think about e-mail marketing reporting.
Thoughts, comments? Let me know.
Until next time…

Go visit your imprisoned Lord who longs to see you.
Harvesting the Fruits of contemplation (harvestingthefruitsofcontemplation.blogspot.com/)

Published in Blog
Keywords: Eucharist, Visits to the Blessed Sacrament, Jesus, Adoration, Church, Catholic
CANASTOTA, NY - Admittedly, Jesus is not calling every Catholic to be His representative and ambassador to our forgotten convicted brothers and sisters. Certainly though more are being invited to this needed ministry than are responding. Is God calling you? Is fear holding you back?
But there is one prisoner you need not fear. One that each and everyone who professes to be Catholic, without exception, is being called to visit. He has been imprisoned and been ignored for more than two thousand years. Unlike his 2,266,800 incarcerated brothers and sisters in the U.S., He is imprisoned voluntarily and out of love. Yet, the majority of those He loves and who profess to love Him ignore Him, and rarely if ever visit Him.
He is in every Catholic Church where the Blessed Sacrament is reserved - but for all practical purposes, in too many instances - He is alone and abandoned. Even the few inclined to visit Him, often find the Church doors locked. How can that be for a Church and its members who are called to make the Eucharist, the source, center and summit of their lives? How can Love Himself be in our midst and so few care to be in His Presence?

BRIDGEPORT - Residents who headed to Seaside Park over the weekend may have noticed a very large hole near the swimming beach.
Witnesses say it was five-feet deep and 30-feet from end-to-end. Police told News 12 Connecticut that investigators had been digging a hole by Black Rock Harbor mounds as part of an investigation. However, they won?t say what exactly they were looking for.
Beach-goers seemed unfazed by the hole and some had their own theories as to what cops were looking for.
Police say they might return to dig some more.
