PERIOD OF POSTRELEASE SUPERVISION CAN NOT BE IMPOSED ON AN INDETERMINATE SENTENCE, ILLEGAL SENTENCE CONSIDERED ON APPEAL EVEN THOUGH THE ISSUE WAS NOT RAISED BY EITHER PARTY (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department determined the period of postrelease supervision was not authorized for the indeterminate sentence imposed on the tampering with physical evidence conviction:

Supreme Court imposed a period of postrelease supervision in connection with defendant’s conviction of tampering with physical evidence. That was error inasmuch as a period of postrelease supervision is not authorized in connection with an indeterminate sentence (see Penal Law § 70.45 [1] … ). Although the issue is not raised by either party, we cannot allow an illegal sentence to stand … . We therefore modify the judgment by vacating that period of postrelease supervision … . People v Harvey, 2019 NY Slip Op 02250, Fourth Dept 3-22-19
