People v. Carey
Opinion of the Court
Defendant was convicted upon a plea of guilty of, inter alia, driving while intoxicated as a class E felony (Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1192 [3]; § 1193 [1] [c] [former (i)]) and was sentenced to a term of shock probation. He subsequently admitted that he violated a condition of probation and now appeals from a judgment revoking his sentence of shock probation and imposing a sentence of imprisonment. Defendant failed to preserve for our review his contention that County Court erred in failing to order an updated presentence report before sentencing him following the revocation of probation (see People v Obbagy, 56 AD3d 1223 [2008], Iv denied 11 NY3d 928 [2009]; People v Pomales, 37 AD3d 1098 [2007], Iv denied 8 NY3d 949 [2007]). In any event, that contention lacks merit. The declaration of delinquency and uniform court report “ ‘constituted the functional equivalent of an updated [presentence] report’ ” (People v Fair-man, 38 AD3d 1346, 1347 [2007], Iv denied 9 NY3d 865 [2007]; see People v Somers, 280 AD2d 925 [2001], Iv denied 96 NY2d 806 [2001]). Moreover, the same judge presided over both the original proceedings and the revocation proceedings, and thus “[t]he court was ‘fully familiar with any changes in defendant’s status, conduct or condition’ since the original sentencing” (People v Howard, 254 AD2d 701 [1998], Iv denied 93 NY2d 853 [1999]; see People v Perry, 278 AD2d 933 [2000], Iv denied 96 NY2d 866 [2001]; cf. People v Klinkowski, 281 AD2d 972 [2001], Iv denied 96 NY2d 831 [2001]).
Defendant further contends that the court should have permitted him to withdraw his admission to the violation of probation because the court never informed him that the
