JUDGE DID NOT MAKE IT CLEAR THAT DEFENDANT’S SENTENCE INCLUDED A PERIOD OF POSTRELEASE SUPERVISION, PLEA VACATED AND MATTER REMITTED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, vacating defendant’s plea, determined the judge did not make clear the sentence included a period of postrelease supervision:

A trial court has the constitutional duty to advise a defendant, before pleading guilty, of the direct consequences of a plea of guilty, including any period of postrelease supervision… . Although the court is not required to engage in any particular litany when allocuting the defendant, the record must be clear that the plea represents a voluntary and intelligent choice among the alternative courses of action open to the defendant… . Here, the record does not make clear that at the time the defendant entered his plea, he was aware that the terms of the County Court’s promised sentence included a period of postrelease supervision … . Accordingly, the judgment must be reversed, the plea vacated, and the matter remitted… . People v James, 2018 NY Slip Op 02805, Second Dept 4-25-18
