DECISION & ORDER

Application by the defendant for a writ of error coram nobis to vacate, on the ground of ineffective assistance of appellate counsel, (1) a decision and order of this Court dated May 3, 2011 (People v Clemente, 84 AD3d 829), affirming a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County, rendered April 30, 2008, and (2) a decision and order of this Court dated May 4, 2016 (People v Clemente, 139 AD3d 751), denying branches of his application which were, inter alia, for a writ of error coram nobis to vacate a decision and order of this Court dated May 22, 1989 (People v Clemente, 150 AD2d 709), which reversed an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County, dated March 22, 1988, dismissing the indictment on the ground that he had been deprived of his constitutional right to a speedy trial.
