The People, etc., respondent, v. Anthony Ralph, appellant.
Submitted—January 4, 2012
DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a resentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Gerges, J.), imposed June 3, 2010, which, upon his conviction of manslaughter in the first degree, imposed a period of postrelease supervision in addition to the determinate term of imprisonment previously imposed on March 19, 2001.
ORDERED that the resentence is affirmed.
Inasmuch as the defendant had not yet completed serving his originally imposed sentence of imprisonment when he was resentenced, his resentencing to a term including the statutorily required period of postrelease supervision did not violate the double jeopardy and due process clauses of the United States Constitution (see People v. Lingle, 16 NY3d 621, 630–632; People v. Algarin, 89 AD3d 859).
The defendant's remaining contention is without merit.
ANGIOLILLO, J.P., FLORIO, LEVENTHAL and LOTT, JJ., concur.

Aprilanne Agostino
