Appeals, Criminal Law

SECOND FELONY OFFENDER STATUS CANNOT BE BASED UPON A FELONY DEFINED IN THE CORRECTIONS LAW, AS OPPOSED TO THE PENAL LAW, ILLEGAL SENTENCE MUST BE CORRECTED EVEN WHERE THERE IS A WAIVER OF APPEAL AND THE ISSUE WAS NOT RAISED BELOW OR ON APPEAL (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department noted than an illegal sentence must be corrected even where there has been a waiver of appeal, and even where the issue was not raised below or on appeal. Here defendant was sentenced as a second felony offender, which is not proper when the underlying felony is defined in the Correction Law, not in the Penal Law:

… [I]t is well settled that “even a valid waiver of the right to appeal will not bar [review of] an illegal sentence” … , and we note that the sentence imposed by the court on count three of the superior court information, i.e., a determinate term of incarceration for failure to register internet identifiers as a class D felony, is illegal. That crime is defined in the Correction Law, and “only a person convicted of a felony defined by the Penal Law may be sentenced as a second felony offender” to a determinate term of incarceration … . “Although [the] issue was not raised before the [sentencing] court or on appeal, we cannot allow an [illegal] sentence to stand” … . People v Mcdonald, 2018 NY Slip Op 00657, Fourth Dept 2-2-18
