[*1]The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

George Colon, Defendant-Appellant.



 
Robert S. Dean, Center for Appellate Litigation, New York
(Mark W. Zeno of counsel), for appellant.
Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Alan Gadlin
of counsel), for respondent.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Renee A. White, J.), entered on or about March 23, 2010, which denied defendant's CPL 440.46 motion for resentencing, unanimously reversed, on the law, and remanded to Supreme Court for further proceedings consistent herewith.

Defendant is eligible to be resentenced under the 2009 Drug Law Reform Act (L 2009, ch 56), even though he was released on parole from custody on his drug conviction, but reincarcerated for a parole violation (see People v Paulin, __NY3d__, 2011 NY
Slip Op 05544 [2011]). Accordingly, we remand the matter to Supreme Court for further consideration of his application.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.

ENTERED: SEPTEMBER 15, 2011

CLERK
