People v. Reyes

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Nov 29, 2007
45 A.D.3d 499 (N.Y. App. Div. 2007)

Opinion

No. 2194 10159/95.

November 29, 2007.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Marcy L. Kahn, J.), entered on or about May 5, 2006, which denied defendant's motion for resentencing pursuant to the 2005 Drug Law Reform Act, unanimously affirmed.

Robert S. Dean, Center for Appellate Litigation, New York (Gayle Pollack of counsel), for appellant.

Robert M. Morgenthau, District Attorney, New York (Richard L. Sullivan of counsel), for respondent.

Before: Tom, J.P., Saxe, Friedman, Williams and Buckley, JJ.


The court properly denied defendant's motion on the ground that he was less than three years from his parole eligibility date when he filed the motion ( see People v Bautista, 26 AD3d 230, appeal dismissed 7 NY3d 838). Since defendant was clearly ineligible, as a matter of law, for resentencing, there was no reason for the court to assign counsel or conduct a hearing ( see People v Santana, 44 AD3d 340).
