The following excerpt is from People v. Rambally, 130 N.Y.S.3d 261 (Table), 68 Misc.3d 1212 (A) (N.Y. City Ct. 2020):
Having declared their readiness for trial at the time of arraignment in a proper manner, See: People v. Kendzia , 64 NY2d 331, 337, 486 N.Y.S.2d 888, 890 (1985), the People argue that they are to only be charged with the time they requested for this adjournment. The Defendant, in tacit agreement with the propriety of the People's prior declaration of readiness, agrees.
