Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York November 24, 2009 (People v. Ouni)

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his brief, from an oral decision of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Brennan, J.), dated January 21, 2009, denying his request for an adjournment.

Ordered that the appeal is dismissed.

It is settled that “[t]he right to appeal in a criminal action is purely statutory” (People v Taylor, 99 AD2d 820 [1984]; see People v Stevens, 91 NY2d 270, 277 [1998]).
