Procedure for Sentencing a Second Felony Offender Not Followed

The Second Department sent the matter back for resentencing because of the sentencing court’s failure to follow the statutory procedure for adjudicating defendant a second felony offender:

As the People correctly concede, the sentencing court adjudicated the defendant a second felony offender (see Penal Law § 70.06) absent any indication of compliance with the procedural requirements of CPL 400.21, or any showing that the defendant was given notice and an opportunity to be heard …. Accordingly, we remit the matter to the County Court, Suffolk County, for resentencing in accordance with the mandates of CPL 400.21 ….  People v Puca, 2013 NY Slip Op 03114, 2nd Dept, 5-1-13
