The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Sergio Salcedo, Appellant.

Court of Appeals of the State of New York.

Decided July 10, 1986.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Stephen P. Younger and Gregory L. Diskant for appellant.

Elizabeth Holtzman, District Attorney (Shulamit Rosenblum and Barbara D. Underwood of counsel), for respondent.

Judges MEYER, SIMONS, KAYE, ALEXANDER, TITONE and HANCOCK, JR., concur.


Chief Judge WACHTLER.

The defendant appeals from an order of the Appellate Division affirming his conviction of arson and reckless endangerment. His primary contention is that he was deprived of his right to counsel of his choice when the trial court disqualified his retained counsel on application of the prosecutor. We agree with the defendant and, accordingly, reverse the order of the Appellate Division.
