People v. Dow

93 A.D.3d 857, 940 N.Y.S.2d 884

• Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
• Decided: March 27, 2012
• Status: Published

Opinion

Since the defendant had not yet completed his originally imposed sentence of imprisonment when he was resentenced, the resentencing to a term including the statutorily required period of postrelease supervision did not subject him to double jeopardy or violate his right to due process of law (see People v Lingle, 16 NY3d 621 [2011]; People v Edwards, 89 AD3d 1034 [2011]; People v Douglas, 89 AD3d 959 [2011]; People v Harris, 89 AD3d 863 [2011]; People v Algarin, 89 AD3d 859 [2011], lv denied 18 NY3d 881 [2012]; People v Dawkins, 87 AD3d 550 [2011]). Accordingly, the Supreme Court erred in granting the defendant’s motion to vacate the resentence.

Moreover, this Court lacks the authority to reconsider on this appeal the incarceratory component of the defendant’s sentence (cf. People v Lingle, 16 NY3d at 635; People v Edwards, 89 AD3d 1034 [2011]; People v Myrick, 84 AD3d 1272 [2011]). Rivera, J.E, Skelos, Dillon and Angiolillo, JJ., concur.
