The following excerpt is from People ex rel. Hicks v. La Vallee, 220 N.Y.S.2d 26, 30 Misc.2d 1054 (N.Y. Cty. Ct. 1961):
However, relator took no appeal from his conviction and as the legislative amendment was not retroactive, habeas corpus [30 Misc.2d 1056] can provide no relief. People ex rel. Davidson v. Morhous, 265 App.Div. 892, 37 N.Y.S.2d 764, affirmed 293 N.Y. 818, 59 N.E.2d 180.
