The following excerpt is from People v. Sanchez, 131 Misc.2d 362, 500 N.Y.S.2d 612 (N.Y. City Ct. 1986):
"[I]t is clear that our holding in People v. Giordano ... is read too broadly if taken to mean that no delay on the part of the People occurring after announcement of readiness is to be counted against them in determining whether the readiness requirements of the section have been met ... for it is well settled that '[t]he language of any opinions must be confined to the facts before the court.' " supra 66 N.Y.2d at 535, 498 N.Y.S.2d 119, 488 N.E.2d 1231.
