PEOPLE of the State of New York, Plaintiff-Respondent, v. David R. BRAND, Defendant-Appellant.
Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him upon his plea of guilty of attempted burglary in the second degree (Penal Law §§ 110.00, 140.25 [2] ). Defendant contends that his plea was not knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently entered because he was not advised of the mandatory period of postrelease supervision at the time of the plea or at the sentencing proceeding, nor did he have notice of the mandatory period of postrelease supervision because Supreme Court did not impose a period of postrelease supervision at sentencing (see People v. Simpson, 30 A.D.3d 1112, 815 N.Y.S.2d 847; cf. People v. Vance, 27 A.D.3d 1015, 811 N.Y.S.2d 499). We agree, and thus we further agree with defendant that reversal is required (see Simpson, 30 A.D.3d 1112, 815 N.Y.S.2d 847).
It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from be and the same hereby is reversed on the law, the plea is vacated and the matter is remitted to Supreme Court, Onondaga County, for further proceedings on the indictment.
MEMORANDUM:
All concur, LAWTON, J., not participating.
