Decided on October 13, 2011.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Daniel P. FitzGerald, J.), entered on or about August 3, 2010, which denied, on grounds of ineligibility, defendant's CPL 440.46 motion for resentencing, unanimously reversed, on the law, and the matter remanded to Supreme Court for further proceedings on the motion.

Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Alan Gadlin of counsel), for respondent.
Gonzalez, P.J., Andrias, Saxe, Sweeny, JJ.
Defendant is eligible for consideration for resentencing even though he had been released from custody on his drug conviction but reincarcerated for a parole violation ( see People v Paulin , 17 NY3d 238 ), and even though he was again released while his resentencing motion was pending ( see People v Santiago , 17 NY3d 246 ).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
