INABILITY TO IMPOSE THE PROMISED SENTENCE REQUIRED THAT DEFENDANT’S GUILTY PLEA BE VACATED (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined defendant’s motion to vacate his plea because the promised sentence could not be imposed should have been granted:

… [D]efendant is entitled to vacatur of the plea because his negotiated plea included a promise of shock incarceration, and that promise cannot be honored because shock incarceration is only available for persons convicted of controlled substance or marijuana offenses … . Since the guilty plea was induced by an unfulfilled promise, we vacate the plea in its entirety. The SCI was part and parcel of the negotiated plea. Therefore, we restore defendant to his preplea status and reinstate the indictment … . People v Golden, 2019 NY Slip Op 02027, First Dept 3-19-19
