THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. JESSIE VELEZ, Appellant.

Defendant is entitled to relief under People v Williams ( 14 NY3d 198), which invalidates the imposition of post-release supervision upon resentencing of defendants who have been released after completing their terms of imprisonment. When a person serving a determinate sentence is conditionally released, the determinate sentence is still in effect, but the person has clearly been released from imprisonment within the meaning of Williams. Accordingly, the controlling date for double jeopardy purposes under Williams is the date of release from prison, not the expiration date of the sentence ( People v Grant, 75 AD3d 558), and we reject the People's argument to the contrary.

In light of this determination, we find it unnecessary to reach any other issues.
