People v. Guillen
Opinion of the Court
Appeal by the defendant from a resentence of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Latella, J.), imposed September 16, 2009, which, upon her conviction of assault in the first degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, upon a
Ordered that the resentence is affirmed.
Since the defendant had not yet completed her originally imposed sentence of imprisonment when she was resentenced, resentencing her to a term which included the statutorily required period of postrelease supervision did not subject her to double jeopardy or violate her right to due process (see People v Lingle, 16 NY3d 621 [2011]; People v McCoy, 84 AD3d 655 [2011]; People v Myrick, 84 AD3d 1272 [2011]; People v Burgos, 84 AD3d 975 [2011]; People v Hoffman, 84 AD3d 978 [2011]; People v DeJesus, 84 AD3d 832 [2011]). Moreover, the Supreme Court had no discretion to reconsider the originally imposed term of imprisonment in resentencing the defendant solely for the purpose of imposing a required term of postrelease supervision (see People v Lingle, 16 NY3d 621 [2011]; People v Myrick, 84 AD3d 1272 [2011]; People v DeJesus, 84 AD3d 832 [2011]).
The period of postrelease supervision imposed at resentencing was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]). Rivera, J.P., Florio, Austin and Cohen, JJ., concur.
