JUDGE DID NOT RULE ON DEFENDANT’S PRO SE MOTION TO WITHDRAW HIS PLEA, APPEAL HELD IN ABEYANCE, MATTER REMITTED FOR APPOINTMENT OF NEW COUNSEL AND A RULING ON THE MOTION (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department held the appeal in abeyance because the defendant’s pro se motion to withdraw his plea was not ruled on. The matter was sent back for a ruling after defendant was assigned new counsel:

… [T]he County Court erred in failing to consider the defendant’s oral pro se application at the resentence proceeding to withdraw his plea of guilty. There is no indication in the record that the court ruled on the defendant’s motion. The court neither granted nor denied it on the record before us. As CPL 470.15(1) serves as a legislative restriction on this Court’s power to review issues not ruled upon by the trial court … , the court’s failure to rule on the motion precludes our review of the issue raised by the defendant’s appeal … . Accordingly, the matter must be remitted … for further proceedings on the defendant’s motion to withdraw his plea of guilty, for which the defendant shall be appointed new counsel, and thereafter a report to this Court on the motion and whether the defendant established his entitlement to withdrawal of his plea of guilty. People v Rovinsky, 2018 NY Slip Op 02814, Second Dept 4-25-18
