DEFENDANT WAS ENTITLED TO SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF THE PLEA AGREEMENT; COUNTY COURT SHOULD NOT HAVE ORDERED RESTITUTION WHICH WAS NOT ADDRESSED IN THE AGREEMENT (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department, amending defendant’s sentence, determined restitution should not have been ordered because it was not addressed in the plea agreement:

Restitution was not part of the plea bargain, and thus the amended sentence exceeded the sentence promised in the plea bargain … . Defendant objected to County Court imposing restitution … , but the court rejected defendant’s request for specific performance of the plea agreement and instead offered defendant the opportunity to withdraw his plea, which defendant declined. As defendant contends and the People correctly concede, defendant was entitled to specific performance of the plea agreement because he “placed himself in a no-return’ position by carrying out his obligations under” the agreement here, and there was “no significant additional information bearing upon the appropriateness of the plea bargain” … . People v Rosa, 2020 NY Slip Op 01793, Fourth Dept 3-13-20
