GARNER v. NY ST. DEPT. CORR. SER

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department.
Apr 12, 2007

Lahtinen, J.

Following an unsuccessful motion to vacate his sentence ( see CPL 440.20) on the ground that the sentencing court did not inform him that he would be subject to a mandatory five-year period of postrelease supervision ( see People v Lindsey, 302 AD2d 128, 129, lv denied 100 NY2d 583 [2003]; see also Penal Law ยง 70.45), petitioner commenced this proceeding to prohibit respondents from imposing that part of his sentence. As respondents are only enforcing, not imposing, a part of petitioner's sentence which was automatically included by statute, they have not performed any judicial function, making prohibition an unavailable remedy ( see Matter of Deal v Goord, 8 AD3d 769, appeal dismissed 3 NY3d 737). Accordingly, the petition was properly dismissed, albeit for reasons different from those stated by Supreme Court.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs.
