THE SENTENCING JUDGE MUST “PRONOUNCE SENTENCE ON EACH COUNT;” MATTER REMITTED FOR RESENTENCING (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department affirmed defendant’s conviction but noted that the judge should have “pronounced sentence on each count” and remitted the matter for resentencing:

… [T]he court erred in failing to “pronounce sentence on each count” of the conviction (CPL 380.20 …).  Although the uniform sentence and commitment form states that defendant was sentenced on each count to concurrent terms of incarceration of five years with three years of postrelease supervision, the court in fact did not “impose a sentence for each count of which defendant was convicted” … . We therefore modify the judgment by vacating the sentence, and we remit the matter to County Court for resentencing.  People v Gause, 2024 NY Slip Op 04686, Fourth Dept 9-27-24

Practice Point: Sentence must be “pronounced on each count.”
