DEFENDANT DID NOT HAVE NOTICE OF OR A CHANCE TO OBJECT TO A 20 POINT ASSESSMENT MADE BY THE JUDGE SUA SPONTE, NEW HEARING ORDERED (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department, ordering a new SORA hearing, determined defendant did not have notice of or an opportunity to object to a 20 point assessment made by the judge sua sponte:

“A defendant has both a statutory and constitutional right to notice of points sought to be assigned to him or her so as to be afforded a meaningful opportunity to respond to that assessment” … . To that end, SORA requires the People to provide defendant with written notice, at least 10 days prior to the hearing, if they intend to seek a presumptive risk level classification that differs from the Board’s recommendation along with their reasons for doing so… . Similarly, “a court’s sua sponte departure from the Board’s recommendation at the hearing, without prior notice, deprives the defendant of a meaningful opportunity to be respond” … . People v Maus, 2018 NY Slip Op 04796, Third Dept 6-28-18
