WAIVER OF APPEAL INVALID AND GUILTY PLEA VACATED BECAUSE DEFENDANT WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE PERIOD OF POST-RELEASE SUPERVISION (FOURTH DEPT). ​

The Fourth Department, vacating defendant's guilty plea, determine defendant's waiver of appeal was invalid and defendant was not informed of the period of post-release supervision:

We agree with defendant that his purported waiver of the right to appeal is invalid. “County Court failed to obtain a knowing and voluntary waiver of the right to appeal at the time of the plea” … . Moreover, “the written waiver of the right to appeal that [defendant] signed as part of the treatment court contract,' [a day] after he pleaded guilty, does not constitute a valid waiver of the right to appeal” …

Furthermore, we agree with defendant that the court failed to fulfill its obligation to advise him, at the time of the plea, that the sentences imposed upon his conviction of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree would include periods of postrelease supervision … . People v Teta, 2018 NY Slip Op 06674, Fourth Dept 10-5-18
