MOTION FOR RESENTENCING PROPERLY DENIED BECAUSE IT WAS MADE WITHIN THREE YEARS OF DEFENDANT’S PAROLE ELIGIBILITY DATE (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department determined defendant’s motion for resentencing under the Drug Law Reform Act of 2005 was properly denied because the motion was made within three years of defendant’s parole eligibility date:

Defendant argues that the 2005 Act should be reinterpreted in light of recent developments, including those relating to the resentencing of persons convicted of other types of drug felonies. However, no decision finding eligibility with regard to any other Drug Law Reform Act has vitiated the 2005 Act’s clear eligibility requirement that the applicant’s parole eligibility date be at least three years in the future. To accept defendant’s argument, we would have to rewrite the statute to treat persons convicted of class A-II felonies the same as persons convicted of other drug felonies … . People v Moore, 2018 NY Slip Op 01428, First Dept 3-6-18
