Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Orleans County (James P. Punch, A.J.), entered May 17, 2010 in a habeas corpus proceeding. The judgment granted the petition.Eric T. Schneiderman, Attorney General, Albany (Owen Demuth of Counsel), for respondent–appellant.
Muldoon & Getz, Rochester (Martin P. Mccarthy, II, of Counsel), for petitioner–respondent.
MEMORANDUM:
Respondent appeals from an order granting the petition for a writ of habeas corpus. We note at the outset that the order was subsumed in the final judgment, from which no appeal was taken. Nevertheless, we exercise our discretion to treat the notice of appeal as valid and deem the appeal as taken from the judgment ( see Hughes v. Nussbaumer, Clarke & Velzy, 140 A.D.2d 988, 529 N.Y.S.2d 658; see also CPLR 5520[c] ), and we reverse. Petitioner was not entitled to habeas corpus relief because he violated a condition of postrelease supervision, which was properly imposed before petitioner completed the originally imposed sentence of imprisonment ( see People v. Lingle, 16 N.Y.3d 621, 629–633, 926 N.Y.S.2d 4, 949 N.E.2d 952).
It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously reversed on the law without costs and the petition is dismissed.
FAHEY, J.P., CARNI, SCONIERS, GORSKI, and MARTOCHE, JJ., concur.
