THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. CHRISNER DESULMA, Also Known as CHRISHNER DELSULMA, Appellant.

Ordered that the resentence is reversed, on the law and as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, and the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Kings County, for resentencing.

In reimposing the defendant's original sentence based solely on an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County, entered September 9, 2002, which decided the defendant's motion pursuant to CPL 440.20, the resentencing court treated the duty of resentencing as a ministerial function, and failed to exercise its own independent discretion based upon its review of all relevant factors ( see People v. Farrar, 52 NY2d 302; People v. Van Pelt, 186 AD2d 604; People v. Martinez, 136 AD2d 745; People v. Martinez, 124 AD2d 505).

The defendant's remaining contentions have been rendered academic in light of the foregoing determination.
