87 A.D.3d 914 (N.Y. App. Div. 2011)

Opinion

No. 5371.

September 15, 2011.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Renee A. White, J.), entered on or about March 23, 2010, which denied defendant's CPL 440.46 motion for resentencing, unanimously reversed, on the law, and remanded to Supreme Court for further proceedings consistent herewith.

Robert S. Dean, Center for Appellate Litigation, New York (Mark W. Zeno of counsel), for appellant.

Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Alan Gadlin of counsel), for respondent.

Before: Andrias, J.P., Friedman, Sweeny, Renwick and Roman, JJ.


Defendant is eligible to be resentenced under the 2009 Drug Law Reform Act (L 2009, ch 56), even though he was released on parole from custody on his drug conviction, but reincarcerated for a parole violation ( see People v Paulin, 17 NY3d 238 [2011.]). Accordingly, we remand the matter to Supreme Court for further consideration of his application.
