83 A.D.3d 728; 919 N.Y.S.2d 878
People v. Benoit

Opinion of the Court

Appeal by the defendant from a resentence of the County Court, Dutchess County (Hayes, J.), imposed March 16, 2010, which, upon his conviction of assault in the first degree, upon his plea of guilty, imposed a period of postrelease supervision in addition to the determinate term of imprisonment previously imposed on March 28, 2005.

Ordered that the resentence is affirmed.

The defendant’s contentions that his underlying plea was not knowing, voluntary, and intelligent, that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel prior to trial and at the plea, and that the original sentence was excessive may not be raised on this appeal from the resentence only (see CPL 450.30 [3]; People v Fields, 79 AD3d 1147, 1147-1148 [2010]; People v Jordan, 65 AD3d 428, 428-429 [2009]; People v Ferrufino, 33 AD3d 623 [2006]; People v DeSpirito, 27 AD3d 479, 479-480 [2006]).

The resentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]). Rivera, J.P., Florio, Dickerson, Hall and Roman, JJ., concur.
