June 15, 2020

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York ex rel. Robin Gordon Leavitt, on Behalf of Rusty Lloyd, Petitioner,

v

Cynthia Brann, Respondent.

Janet E. Sabel, New York, NY (Robin Gordon Leavitt pro se of counsel), for petitioner.

Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Elaine Albenda, Leonard Joblove, and Jean M. Joyce of counsel) and James E. Johnson, Corporation Counsel, New York, NY (Claibourne Henry of counsel), for respondent.

Writ of habeas corpus in the nature of an application to release Rusty Lloyd upon bail in the amount of $300,000 partially secured by Alexis Lloyd, upon Kings County Indictment No. 7644/19.

Adjudged that the writ is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.

Under the circumstances, the petitioner had the burden of demonstrating the propriety of the bail proffer ( see CPL 520.30; cf. People ex rel. Francis v Brann , 170 AD3d 1254 [2019]; People ex rel. Aidala v Warden, Rikers Is. Corr. Facility , 100 AD3d 667 [2012]). The Supreme Court properly determined that the petitioner failed to meet his burden.
