PEOPLE v. MCCRAE (2025)

Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department, New York.

The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Alfred MCCRAE, Defendant–Appellant.

4812

Decided: October 02, 2025

Manzanet–Daniels, J.P., Friedman, Pitt–Burke, Rosado, Chan, JJ.

Twyla Carter, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Naila S. Siddiqui of counsel), for appellant. Alvin L. Bragg, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Michael D. Tarbutton of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal from judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Laura A. Ward, J.), rendered December 11, 2017, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony drug offender, to a term of three years and 30 days, followed by 3 years of postrelease supervision, unanimously dismissed, as moot.

Defendant's challenges to the court's enhancement of his sentence are moot because he has completed his sentence (see People v. Moore, 247 A.D.2d 228, 229, 668 N.Y.S.2d 356 [1st Dept. 1998], lv denied 91 N.Y.2d 943, 671 N.Y.S.2d 723, 694 N.E.2d 892 [1998]). We have considered defendant's remaining arguments and find them unavailing.
