SECOND FELONY OFFENDER STATUS CANNOT BE BASED UPON A PRIOR FEDERAL DRUG CONSPIRACY CONVICTION (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department determined defendant should not have been sentenced as a second felony offender based upon a prior federal drug conspiracy conviction:

​

“It is well settled that, under New York’s strict equivalency standard for convictions rendered in other jurisdictions, a federal conviction for conspiracy to commit a drug crime may not serve as a predicate felony for sentencing purposes” … . We therefore modify the order by granting that part of defendant’s motion pursuant to CPL 440.20 seeking to vacate the sentence, and we remit the matter to Supreme Court to resentence defendant as a nonpredicate felon … . People v Hamn, 2018 NY Slip Op 00961, Fourth Dept 2-9-18
