"New York", United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Sippel, 109 N.Y.S.3d 619, 65 Misc.3d 862 (N.Y. City Ct. 2019):

5 People v. Gray , 86 N.Y.2d 10, 19, 629 N.Y.S.2d 173, 652 N.E.2d 919 (1995). In fact, "even where a motion to dismiss for insufficient evidence was made, the preservation requirement compels that the argument be specifically directed at the alleged error." Id. at 19, 629 N.Y.S.2d 173, 652 N.E.2d 919.
