People v Simms
Annotate this CaseThe People of the State of New York, Respondent,
v
Trevor Simms, Appellant.
—[*1] Robert S. Dean, Center for Appellate Litigation, New York (Mark W. Zeno of counsel), for appellant. Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Nicole Coviello of counsel), for respondent.
Judgment of resentence, Supreme Court, New York County (Charles H. Solomon, J.), rendered December 19, 2008, resentencing defendant, as a second felony offender, to a term of seven years, with five years' postrelease supervision, unanimously affirmed.
The resentencing proceeding imposing a term of postrelease supervision was not barred by double jeopardy, since defendant was still serving his prison term at that time, and therefore had no reasonable expectation of finality in his illegal sentence (see People v Murrell, 73 AD3d 598 [2010]).
We have considered and rejected defendant's due process argument. Defendant's remaining claims are similar to arguments that were rejected in People v Williams (14 NY3d 198 [2010]). Concur—Tom, J.P., Saxe, Catterson, Renwick and DeGrasse, JJ.
