Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove and Morgan J. Dennehy of counsel), for appellant. Steven Banks, New York, N.Y. (Kristina Schwarz of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the People from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Brennan, J.), dated May 5, 2010, which, upon the defendant's conviction of attempted murder in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, granted the defendant's motion pursuant to CPL 440.20 and Penal Law § 70.85 to vacate a resentence of the same court imposed May 29, 2009, which imposed a period of postrelease supervision in addition to the determinate term of imprisonment previously imposed on May 22, 2001.

ORDERED that the order is reversed, on the law, and the motion is denied.

Since the defendant had not yet completed his originally imposed sentence of imprisonment when he was resentenced, the resentencing to a term including the statutorily required period of postrelease supervision did not subject him to double jeopardy or violate his right to due process of law ( see People v. Lingle, 16 N.Y.3d 621, 926 N.Y.S.2d 4, 949 N.E.2d 952; People v. Edwards, 89 A.D.3d 1034, 933 N.Y.S.2d 564; People v. Douglas, 89 A.D.3d 959, 932 N.Y.S.2d 722; People v. Harris, 89 A.D.3d 863, 932 N.Y.S.2d 357; People v. Algarin, 89 A.D.3d 859, 932 N.Y.S.2d 358, lv. denied 18 N.Y.3d 881, 939 N.Y.S.2d 751, 963 N.E.2d 128; People v. Dawkins, 87 A.D.3d 550, 927 N.Y.S.2d 797). Accordingly, the Supreme Court erred in granting the defendant's motion to vacate the resentence.

RIVERA, J.P., SKELOS, DILLON and ANGIOLILLO, JJ., concur.
