PEOPLE v. REMBERT

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department.
Sep 25, 1989

Ordered that the sentence is reversed, on the law, and the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Kings County, for further proceedings consistent herewith.

The defendant was sentenced, pursuant to Penal Law ยง 70.04 (4), to a minimum term of imprisonment consisting of one half the maximum term. There is, however, no indication in the record that the defendant was given an opportunity to controvert her status as a second violent felony offender (see, CPL 400.15). Accordingly, as the People concede, the matter must be remitted for resentencing and for a proper adjudication as to the defendant's status as a predicate felon (see, People v. Colon, 122 A.D.2d 150; People v. Meadows, 114 A.D.2d 1044; People v Morrison, 100 A.D.2d 976). Mollen, P.J., Bracken, Eiber and Spatt, JJ., concur.
