People v. Arbil C.
Opinion of the Court
— Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Dufficy, J.) rendered November 20, 1991, adjudicating him a youthful offender, upon his plea of guilty to criminal possession of stolen property in the fourth degree, and imposing sentence of an indeterminate term of one to three years imprisonment.
Ordered that the judgment is reversed, on the law, and the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Queens County, for further proceedings in accordance herewith. No questions of fact have been raised or considered.
The transcript of the minutes of the defendant’s plea of
We note that the defendant waived his right to appellate review of any ensuing judgment when he pleaded guilty. Because the court did not advise the defendant at the time he pleaded guilty that he faced an enhanced sentence under certain conditions, the defendant’s waiver of appellate review on that ground was not knowingly or intelligently made. Thus, the waiver did not preclude the defendant from seeking appellate review.
Accordingly, we remit the matter to the Supreme Court, Queens County, to afford it the opportunity to either impose the promised sentence or permit the defendant to withdraw his plea of guilty. Mangano, P. J., Sullivan, O’Brien, Ritter and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
