The following excerpt is from People v. Lewis, 150 Misc.2d 886, 578 N.Y.S.2d 393 (N.Y. City Ct. 1991):
In People v. Quiles, supra, the court did not charge the People with the period of time from the issuance of the warrant on July 26 until August 17, the date the parties stipulated that a search would have revealed the address at which the defendant could be located. The People maintain that because the Quiles court did not charge the People with this time, Quiles implicitly stands for the proposition that the People are entitled to "start up" time or a grace period following the issuance of a bench warrant before due diligence need be demonstrated.
