THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v CHRISTOPHER THOMPSON, Appellant.
Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department, New York
848 N.Y.S.2d 540
Ordered that the judgment is reversed, on the law, the plea is vacated, and the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Kings County, for further proceedings in accordance herewith.
The court‘s failure to advise the defendant at the time of the plea that his sentence would include a mandatory period of postrelease supervision prevented his plea from being knowing, voluntary, and intelligent (see People v Hill, 9 NY3d 189 [2007]; People v Louree, 8 NY3d 541, 545 [2007]; People v Catu, 4 NY3d 242, 245 [2005]). Accordingly, the judgment is reversed, the plea is vacated, and the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Kings County for further proceedings. Spolzino, J.P., Skelos, Lifson and McCarthy, JJ., concur.
