The People of the State of New York ex rel. Charles Williams, Appellant, against J. Vernel Jackson, as Warden of Clinton Prison, Respondent.

Appeal from an order of the Clinton County Court which dismissed a writ of habeas corpus. Relator was sentenced as a second offender. He claims that he was not properly sentenced because the provisions of section 1943 of the Penal Law were not complied with. However, it appears that he was indicted as a second offender, and apparently, convicted as such. This procedure was proper. (People v. Gowashy, 244 N. Y. 451 .) Order affirmed, without costs. All concur.
