Court of Appeals of New York

In the circumstances presented here, it does not constitute double jeopardy for an appellate court to correct a defendant's illegal sentence on direct appeal by imposing a term of post-release supervision (PRS) after the defendant has completed the illegal sentence, but the direct appeal of that sentence was not over.
