People v. Thweatt

Decision Date30 December 2002
PartiesTHE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent,<BR>v.<BR>STEPHEN W. THWEATT, Appellant.
CourtNew York Supreme Court — Appellate Division

Present — Green, J.P., Pine, Hurlbutt, Burns and Gorski, JJ.

It is hereby ordered that the judgment so appealed from be and the same hereby is unanimously affirmed.

Memorandum:

Contrary to defendant's contention, County Court was not required to specify a period of postrelease supervision at the time of the plea or at sentencing and thus resentencing is not required (see People v Bloom, 269 AD2d 838, lv denied 94 NY2d 945). Where, as here, the court fails to specify a shorter period, the period of postrelease supervision for the determinate sentence imposed upon defendant's conviction of attempted burglary in the second degree (Penal Law §§ 110.00, 140.25 [2]), a class D violent felony offense (§ 70.02 [1] [c]), is three years (see § 70.45 [2]; People v Skye, 298 AD2d 889; see also People v White, 296 AD2d 867).
