People v. Gibbs

Apr 7, 2009
Versions:61 A.D.3d 699
875 N.Y.S.2d 904

Ordered that the judgment is reversed, on the law, the plea of guilty is vacated, and the matter is remitted to the County Court, Orange County, for further proceedings.

The failure of the County Court to advise the defendant, at the time of the plea, that his sentence would include a period of postrelease supervision requires reversal of the judgment of conviction (see People v Hill, 9 NY3d 189, 191-192 [2007]; People v Louree, 8 NY3d 541, 544-545 [2007]; People v Catu, 4 NY3d 242, 245 [2005]). Accordingly, we reverse the judgment, vacate the plea, and remit the matter to the County Court, Orange County, for further proceedings (see People v Borrego, 59 AD3d 456 [2009]; People v Stewart, 57 AD3d 581 [2008]; People v Kirksey, 56 AD3d 573 [2008]; People v Bernard, 53 AD3d 586, 586-587 [2008]; People v Cook, 49 AD3d 777, 777-778 [2008]; People v Lipscombe, 49 AD3d 781, 782 [2008]; People v Thompson, 47 AD3d 648 [2008]).

The defendant‘s remaining contentions are without merit.

Mastro, J.P., Covello, Eng and Leventhal, JJ., concur.
