THE PEOPLE, etc., respondent, v. JOHN K. McCREADY, appellant.

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the order is reversed insofar as appealed from, on the law, that branch of the defendant's motion which was, in effect, to set aside the sentence imposed on his conviction of assault in the second degree is granted, the sentence is vacated, and the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Suffolk County, for resentencing in accordance herewith.

As correctly conceded by the People, the sentence imposed by the Supreme Court upon the defendant's conviction of assault in the second degree was inconsistent with the sentence promised by the court at the plea proceeding. Pursuant to the court's promise, the defendant should have been sentenced to a determinate term of two years rather than a determinate term of three years. "[A] guilty plea induced by an unfulfilled promise either must be vacated or the promise honored" (People v. Selikoff, 35 N.Y.2d 227, 241, cert denied 419 U.S. 1122). Under the circumstances, the defendant should be resentenced in accordance with the court's promise.

SANTUCCI, J.P., ALTMAN, S. MILLER and H. MILLER, JJ., concur.
