People v. Cruz

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Oct 18, 1999
265 A.D.2d 488 (N.Y. App. Div. 1999)

Opinion

Submitted July 30, 1999

October 18, 1999

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from an amended sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Vaughan, J.).


ORDERED that the amended sentence is reversed, on the law, and the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Kings County, for resentencing in accordance herewith.

Absent the imposition of the minimum sentence or an express waiver of the presentence report requirement, a court which imposes a new sentence based upon the defendant's violation of a condition of probation must obtain and consider an updated presentence report or its functional equivalent (see, People v. Figueroa, 227 A.D.2d 501; People v. Cannon, 208 A.D.2d 942). There is no indication in the record that the court had before it either an updated presentence report or its functional equivalent.

In light of our determination, it is unnecessary to address the defendant's remaining contentions.

MANGANO, P.J., BRACKEN, ALTMAN, McGINITY, and H. MILLER, JJ., concur.
