The People of the State of New York ex rel. Michael Montagno, Appellant, against Vernon A. Morhous, as Warden of Great Meadow Prison, Respondent.

Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court dismissing after a hearing a writ of habeas corpus. Relator’s contention is that he is illegally incarcerated for the reason that the Trial Judge, in sentencing him in Kings County Court, failed to inform him of his right to be represented by counsel. Order dismissing the writ affirmed, without costs. All concur.
