July 24, 2019

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Patrick Curran, Appellant.

Gary E. Eisenberg, New City, NY, for appellant.

William V. Grady, District Attorney, Poughkeepsie, NY (Kirsten A. Rappleyea of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Dutchess County (Craig Stephen Brown, J.), rendered June 24, 2016, convicting him of aggravated family offense (two counts), upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant’s contention, the County Court did not err in not sua sponte ordering a competency hearing pursuant to CPL 730.30 prior to conducting an Outley hearing ( see People v Outley , 80 NY2d 702 [1993]) and imposing sentence ( see People v Morgan , 87 NY2d 878, 879-880 [1995]; People v Rojas , 43 AD3d 413 [2007]; People v Jones , 25 AD3d 809 , 810 [2006]; People v Jordan , 21 AD3d 1039 [2005]).

The defendant’s remaining contention is without merit. Dillon, J.P., Miller, LaSalle and Iannacci, JJ., concur..
