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

v

George Nieves, Defendant-Appellant.




Robert S. Dean, Center for Appellate Litigation, New York
(Mark W. Zeno of counsel), for appellant.
Robert T. Johnson, District Attorney, Bronx (Justin J. Braun of
counsel), for respondent.

Judgment of resentence, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Barbara F. Newman, J.), rendered August 26, 2009, resentencing defendant, as a second felony offender, to a term of 13 years, with 5 years' postrelease supervision, unanimously affirmed.

The resentencing proceeding imposing a term of postrelease supervision was neither barred by double jeopardy nor otherwise unlawful (see People v Lingle, 16 NY3d 621 [2011]). We have no authority to revisit defendant's prison sentence on this appeal (see id. at 635).

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

ENTERED: NOVEMBER 29, 2011

CLERK
