DEFENDANT WAS NOT ADVISED THE SENTENCE TO WHICH HE AGREED WHEN PLEADING GUILTY WAS FIXED REGARDLESS OF THE OUTCOME OF THE SECOND VIOLENT FELONY OFFENDER HEARING, PLEA VACATED (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department determined defendant was not advised of the direct consequences of his guilty plea in that he was not advised that the sentence to which he agreed was fixed without regard to the outcome of the second violent felony offender hearing . The guilty plea was vacated and the matter sent back to County Court:

​

“While a trial court has no obligation to explain to defendants who plead guilty the possibility that collateral consequences may attach to their criminal convictions, the court must advise a defendant of the direct consequences of the plea” … . Defendant failed to preserve for our review his contention that County Court failed to fulfill its obligation to advise him at the time of the plea that the sentence imposed would include a period of postrelease supervision …, and we decline to exercise our power to review that contention as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice … . Nevertheless, the record supports defendant’s further contention that he was not advised that the sentence to which he agreed when pleading guilty was fixed without regard to the outcome of the second violent felony offender hearing, and thus that he was not properly advised of the direct consequences of the plea … . People v Smith, 2017 NY Slip Op 08132, Fourth Dept 11-17-17
