People v. Lucas

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 14, 1986
119 A.D.2d 700 (N.Y. App. Div. 1986)

Opinion

April 14, 1986

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Lagana, J.).


Judgment, as amended, modified, by vacating the sentence imposed thereon. As so modified, judgment, as amended, affirmed, and matter remitted to the Supreme Court, Kings County, for resentencing in accordance herewith.

The issue of the voluntariness of the defendant's plea is not preserved for appellate review as a matter of law because he failed to move to set aside his plea prior to sentencing (see, People v. Pellegrino, 60 N.Y.2d 636; People v. Pascale, 48 N.Y.2d 997; People v. Taylor, 111 A.D.2d 836; People v. Jackson, 101 A.D.2d 893; cf. People v. Camacho, 102 A.D.2d 728). The defendant's claim that the issue of the voluntariness of his plea was preserved for appellate review because he raised it during resentencing (where he argued that the plea was involuntary because at the time of the allocution he was really 15 years old and a juvenile and not 16 years old as all of his records indicated), does not have any merit (see, People v. McKenzie, 88 A.D.2d 646). We decline to address the issue of the voluntariness of the plea in the interest of justice.

However, the defendant's contention that the resentencing court abused its discretion when it resentenced him without ordering and considering an updated presentence report is meritorious. The court should have obtained an up-to-date presentence report before imposing the resentence (see, CPL 390.20; People v Hayes, 101 A.D.2d 893; People v. Cruz, 89 A.D.2d 569). Lazer, J.P., Thompson, Weinstein and Eiber, JJ., concur.
