v

Synell Sims, 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.

Judgment of resentence, Supreme Court, New York County (Richard D. Carruthers, J.), rendered May 26, 2009, resentencing defendant to an aggregate of 25 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: OCTOBER 20, 2011

CLERK
