Procedure for Sentencing as Persistent Felony Offender Not Followed

In sending the matter back for resentencing, the Second Department noted that the statutory procedure for sentencing as a persistent felony offender had not been followed:

The Supreme Court erred in failing to provide proper notice of the persistent felony offender hearing pursuant to CPL 400.20(1)-(4), and to set forth specific reasons supporting its determination to sentence the defendant as a persistent felony offender (see Penal Law § 70.10[2]…). People v Brown, 2013 NY Slip Op 03111, 2nd Dept, 3-1-13
