DEFENDANT ENTITLED TO BE HEARD ON APPLICATION FOR RESENTENCING UNDER DRUG LAW REFORM ACT, DENIAL OF APPLICATION ON THE PAPERS REVERSED.

The Third Department determined denial of defendant’s application for resentencing under the Drug Law Reform Act without allowing defendant to be heard was error:

 

The Drug Law Reform Act of 2009 requires that, upon receipt of an application for resentencing, “the court shall offer an opportunity for a hearing and bring the applicant before it” (L 2004, ch 73, § 23; see CPL 440.46 [3]…). Inasmuch as the record does not reflect that defendant was afforded “an opportunity to be heard on the merits of [his] application,” the order appealed from must be reversed and the matter remitted to County Court so that a new determination can be made on defendant’s application after the proper procedure has been followed … . People v Davis, 2016 NY Slip Op 01006, 3rd Dept 2-11-16
