DEFENDANT PRESENTED EVIDENCE HE WOULD NOT HAVE PLED GUILTY HAD HE KNOWN HIS FEDERAL AND STATE SENTENCES WOULD NOT RUN CONCURRENTLY, MOTION TO VACATE CONVICTION SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DENIED WITHOUT A HEARING (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined defendant’s motion to vacate his judgment of conviction (by guilty plea) should not have been denied without a hearing. Defendant presented evidence he would not have pled guilty had he known his state and federal sentences would not run concurrently:

 

A hearing will be appropriate where a defendant comes forward with “allegations that raise a triable issue of fact sufficient to challenge the presumed validity of a judgment of conviction” … . Here, as the People concede, the evidence submitted by the defendant was sufficient to raise a triable issue of fact as to whether he believed, prior to pleading guilty, based on the advice of his attorney, that his state sentence would run concurrent with his federal sentence and whether he would have rejected the plea agreement in the absence of concurrent sentences … . People v Oquendo, 2017 NY Slip Op 08018, Second Dept 11-15-17
