DECISION & JUDGMENT
Writ of habeas corpus in the nature of an application to release Mitchell Thelusca upon his own recognizance or, in the alternative, to set reasonable bail upon Kings County Indictment No. 76298/2024.
The determination of the Supreme Court, Kings County, did not violate "constitutional or statutory standards" (People ex rel. Klein v Krueger, 25 NY2d 497, 499; see People ex rel. Rosenthal v Wolfson, 48 NY2d 230).
To the extent that the petitioner contends that Mitchell Thelusca's detention is illegal because he is being detained with a deliberate indifference to his medical needs, this claim raises questions of fact that are more appropriately considered in the first instance by the Supreme Court, which can hold evidentiary hearings and set forth findings of fact and conclusions of law, which may be reviewed on an appropriate appellate record (see People ex rel. Grossfeld v Brann, 182 AD3d 556; People ex rel. Dieckmann v Warden, 182 AD3d 555).
Accordingly, we dismiss the writ.
BARROS, J.P., GENOVESI, TAYLOR and GOLIA, JJ., concur.
