Appeal by the defendant from a resentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Dowling, J.), imposed June 12, 2009, which, upon his conviction of manslaughter in the first degree, upon a jury verdict, imposed a period of postrelease supervision in addition to the determinate term of imprisonment previously imposed on April 15, 2002.
ORDERED that the resentence is affirmed.
The defendant was convicted, upon a jury verdict, of manslaughter in the first degree. On April 15, 2002, he was sentenced to a determinate term of 20 years imprisonment. On June 12, 2009, while the defendant was still incarcerated and *383serving the original sentence, the Supreme Court resentenced him to the same prison term, but with the term of 20 years imprisonment to be followed by a 5–year period of postrelease supervision.
Under the circumstances of this case, there is no merit to the defendant's contentions that the resentence violated the prohibition against double jeopardy and his due process rights because he had a legitimate expectation in the finality of his sentence ( see People v. Williams, 81 A.D.3d 756, 916 N.Y.S.2d 519;People v. Tillman, 74 A.D.3d 1251, 1251, 902 N.Y.S.2d 416;cf. People v. Williams, 14 N.Y.3d 198, 899 N.Y.S.2d 76, 925 N.E.2d 878,cert. denied ––– U.S. ––––, 131 S.Ct. 125, 178 L.Ed.2d 242).
The resentence imposed was not excessive ( see People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80, 455 N.Y.S.2d 675).
