The People of the State of New York,
Respondent, v Sharon Lashley, Appellant. |
Robert S. Dean, Center for Appellate Litigation, New York (Katharine Skolnick of counsel), for appellant.
Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Michael D. Tarbutton of counsel), for respondent.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Ronald A. Zweibel, J. at plea, Mark Dwyer, J.
at sentencing), rendered April 10, 2018, as amended June 12, 2018, convicting defendant of
criminal possession of a forged instrument in the second degree, and sentencing her, as a second
felony offender, to a term of 3
Defendant's challenge to the facial sufficiency of the predicate felony offender statement does not require preservation (see People v Soto, 138 AD3d 533 [1st Dept 2016], lv denied 28 NY3d 937 [2016]).
Nothing in the record demonstrates a sufficient tolling period to support the predicate felony statement submitted by the People. Therefore, the People's failure to include this information in the predicate felony statement cannot be deemed harmless (see id. at 534).
Because defendant is entitled to a new sentencing proceeding, we do not reach her remaining contention regarding her sentence. Concur—Renwick, J.P., Gische, Mazzarelli, Moulton, JJ.
