Opinion
March 29, 1993
Appeal from the County Court, Suffolk County (Tisch, J.).
Ordered that the amended sentence is reversed, on the law and as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, and the matter is remitted to the County Court, Suffolk County, for resentencing in accordance herewith.
Absent the imposition of the minimum sentence or an express waiver as part of a negotiated guilty plea, a court which is about to impose a sentence based upon the defendant's violation of probation imposed under an earlier sentence must obtain and consider an updated presentence report (see, People v. Simpson, 179 A.D.2d 831). Because the court did not have before it an updated presentence report or its functional equivalent at the time it imposed the amended sentence and the defendant did not expressly waive the report, the matter must be remitted to the County Court, Suffolk County for resentencing (see, People v Roman, 153 A.D.2d 594). Thompson, J.P., Balletta, Rosenblatt and Eiber, JJ., concur.
