People v. Samuels
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided April 15, 2015 · Skelos, Austin, Miller, Hinds-Radix
127 A.D.3d 1001; 4 N.Y.S.3d 905
People v. Samuels

Opinion

Appeal by the defendant from a resentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Marrus, J.), imposed March 23, 2012, upon his conviction of rape in the first degree, upon a jury verdict, the resentence being five years of postrelease supervision in addition to the determinate term of imprisonment previously imposed by the same court on March 8, 2001.

*1002 Ordered that the resentence is affirmed.

Since the defendant was still serving his original sentence when the resentence was imposed, the resentence to a term including the statutorily required period of postrelease supervision did not subject him to double jeopardy or violate his right to due process of law (see People v Lingle, 16 NY3d 621, 630-633 [2011]; People v Kearney, 116 AD3d 1064 [2014]; People v Flowers, 116 AD3d 710 [2014]).

Skelos, J.P., Austin, Miller and Hinds-Radix, JJ., concur.
