In the Matter of Anthony J. Peterkin,
Appellant, v Anthony J. Annucci, as Acting Commissioner of Corrections and Community Supervision, et al., Respondents. |
Anthony J. Peterkin, Gouverneur, appellant pro se.
Letitia James, Attorney General, Albany (Marcus Mastracco of counsel), for respondents.
Lynch, J. Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court (Farley, J.), entered September 5, 2019 in St. Lawrence County, which dismissed petitioner's application, in a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78, to review a determination of the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision calculating petitioner's sentence.
In 2011, petitioner was convicted of attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance in the
third degree and sentenced to a prison term of 1
Contrary to petitioner's contention, we find no error in the amount of jail time credit applied to petitioner's 2011 sentence. The initial jail time credit in connection with the 2014 sentence was modified by deducting time petitioner was in custody that was credited toward the 2011 sentence. The Department of Corrections and Community Supervision was bound by the terms of the amended jail time certificate in calculating petitioner's 2014 sentence (see Matter of Rembert v New York State Dept. of Corr. & Community Supervision, 162 AD3d 1439, 1441 [2018]; Matter of Torres v Bennett, 271 AD2d 830, 831 [2000]).
As for the jail time credited toward petitioner's 2014 sentence, Penal Law § 70.30 (3) provides that a person shall receive jail time credit for time "spent in custody prior to the commencement of such sentence as a result of the charge that culminated in the sentence." Such jail time credit is to be "calculated from the date custody under the charge commenced to the date the sentence commences and shall not include any time that is credited against the term or maximum term of any previously imposed sentence or period of post-release supervision to which the person is subject" (Penal Law § 70.30 [3]; see Matter of Hurley v Fox, 133 AD3d 997, 998 [2015]). The record establishes that petitioner's 2011 sentence ran uninterrupted until its maximum expiration date of January 4, 2014. As such, the time spent in custody prior to that date was properly credited toward his 2011 sentence and such time cannot also be used as a credit toward the 2014 sentence (see Matter of Lewis v Holford, 168 AD3d 1303, 1305 [2019]; Matter of Rembert v New York State Dept. of Corr. & Community Supervision, 162 AD3d at 1441; Matter of Maldonado v Howard, 148 AD3d 1501, 1502 [2017], lv denied 29 NY3d 916 [2017]).
To the extent that petitioner contends that the 2011 and 2014 sentences were to run concurrently, such contention is without merit. By the time the 2014 sentence was imposed on August 28, 2014, petitioner was no longer serving the 2011 sentence, as it had expired on January 4, 2014. As such, the sentences could not have run concurrently.
Egan Jr., J.P., Devine, Pritzker and Reynolds Fitzgerald, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs.
