An application for a writ of error coram nobis may not be used as a substitute for a motion to reargue a decision and order of this Court ( see generally People v. Gordon, 183 A.D.2d 915, 584 N.Y.S.2d 318;CPL 470.50; Rules of App.Div., 2d Dept. [22 NYCRR] § 670.6; cf. People v. Syville, 15 N.Y.3d 391, 400–401, 912 N.Y.S.2d 477, 938 N.E.2d 910;People v. Bachert, 69 N.Y.2d 593, 596–600, 516 N.Y.S.2d 623, 509 N.E.2d 318). The defendant's application must therefore be dismissed. MASTRO, J.P., RIVERA, SKELOS and DICKERSON, JJ., concur.
