Judgment of resentence, Supreme Court, New York County (Richard D. Carruthers, J.), rendered October 19, 2011, as amended October 26, 2011, resentencing defendant to a term of 12 years, with 5 years' postrelease supervision, unanimously affirmed.
The resentencing proceeding imposing a term of postrelease supervision was neither barred by double jeopardy nor otherwise unlawful ( see People v. Lingle, 16 N.Y.3d 621, 926 N.Y.S.2d 4, 949 N.E.2d 952 [2011] ), and we do not find the term imposed to be excessive. TOM, J.P., FRIEDMAN, ACOSTA, SAXE, KAPNICK, JJ., concur.
