Proper Procedure for Resentencing Under Drug Law Reform Act Explained

The Third Department explained the proper procedure for resentencing under the Drug Law Reform Act as follows:

The Drug Law Reform Act establishes a specific procedural course that was not followed here. Upon  finding a  defendant eligible for resentencing, the court must  issue a  written interlocutory order informing the defendant of the term of imprisonment  it intends to impose, setting forth findings of fact and the reasons underlying the proposed resentence, and advising the defendant  that, unless he or she withdraws  the application or appeals from the interlocutory order, the court will vacate the original sentence and impose the proposed resentence (see L 2004, ch 738, § 23).County  Court’s failure to proceed  in this manner deprived defendant of the opportunity to carefully consider his options, including the taking of an  appeal  from  the interlocutory order.  People v Minor, 104880, 3rd Dept, 5-16-13
