People v. Avellanet
Opinion of the Court
—Appeals
Ordered that the amended judgment rendered under Superior Court Information No. 115/97 is affirmed; and it is further,
Ordered that the amended judgment rendered under Indictment No. 53/97 is reversed, on the law, the charge of violating the terms of the defendant’s probation for his conviction of aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the first degree is dismissed, and the sentence imposed thereon is vacated.
The evidence adduced at the hearing was sufficient to establish that the defendant violated the terms of his probation for his conviction of driving while intoxicated (see, People v McCaffrey, 254 AD2d 304; People v Stoliker, 94 AD2d 854). However, as the defendant was not informed that he was also being charged with violating the terms of his probation for his conviction of aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the first degree, the court improperly determined that he violated the terms of his probation for that crime (see, CPL 410.70 [2]).
The defendant’s remaining contentions are either without merit or academic. Ritter, J. P., Joy, S. Miller and H. Miller, JJ., concur.
