RESENTENCING IN SUPREME COURT AFTER CONVICTION IN COUNTY COURT WAS ILLEGAL (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department determined defendant, who had been convicted in County Court was illegally resentenced in Supreme Court:

We agree with defendant … that he was illegally resentenced in Supreme Court after his trial was conducted in County Court. It is well settled that “in order to remove a criminal action from County Court to Supreme Court, the Uniform Rules for the New York State Trial Courts require that such removal be authorized by the Chief Administrator and that it occur prior to the entry of a plea or commencement of trial” … . Here, although the case was removed by the Chief Administrator, it did not occur prior to the commencement of trial. Thus, Supreme Court lacked authority to resentence defendant, thereby rendering the resentence illegal … . People v Williams, 2018 NY Slip Op 05090, Fourth Dept 7-6-18
