Opinion
No. 2014–372 W CR.
06-29-2016
The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Corey MARROW, Appellant.
Appeal, as limited by the brief, from a sentence of the City Court of Mount Vernon, Westchester County (Mark A. Gross, J.), imposed January 29, 2014, upon defendant's conviction, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree.
ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.
Pursuant to a plea agreement, defendant was to be sentenced on his conviction of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree (Penal Law § 220.03 ) to a term of six months of incarceration. After defendant failed to appear in court for sentencing, the court imposed an enhanced sentence of nine months of incarceration. It is undisputed that defendant appeared in court during the afternoon of the date scheduled for sentencing, albeit after a bench warrant had been issued. Defendant appeals, as limited by his brief, from the enhanced sentence.
As it is undisputed that defendant has fully served his enhanced sentence and has been released from custody, his claim that the City Court erred in imposing it has been rendered academic (see People v. Walker, 127 AD3d 1506 [2015] ; People v. Nicholson, 31 AD3d 468, 468–469 [2006] ; People v. Farmer, 50 Misc.3d 141[A], 2016 N.Y. Slip Op 50199[U], *2 [App Term, 2d Dept, 9th & 10th Jud Dists 2016]; People v. Pompi, 31 Misc.3d 145[A], 2011 N.Y. Slip Op 50936 [U] [App Term, 2d Dept, 9th & 10th Jud Dists 2011] ).
Accordingly, the sentence is affirmed.
