| The People of the State of New York ex rel. James Jackson, Appellant, v James Morrissey, as Superintendent of Butler Correctional Facility, Respondent. |
—[*1]
Andrew M. Cuomo, Attorney General, Albany (Jennifer Grace Miller of counsel), for
respondent-respondent.
Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Wayne County (Stephen R. Sirkin, A.J.), entered September 5, 2006 in a habeas corpus proceeding. The judgment dismissed the petition.
It is hereby ordered that the judgment so appealed from be and the same hereby is unanimously affirmed without costs.
Memorandum: Petitioner commenced this proceeding seeking habeas corpus relief on the ground that he did not receive a written final declaration of delinquency in accordance with Executive Law § 259-i (3) (d) (iii) and 9 NYCRR 8004.3 (g) upon being charged with and convicted of a felony while on parole. We reject the contention of petitioner that he had a due process right to receive the final written declaration of delinquency when his parole was revoked and he was reincarcerated upon being charged with and convicted of the new crime (see Morrissey v Brewer, 408 US 471, 490 [1972]; see also People ex rel. Harris v Sullivan, 74 NY2d 305, 310 [1989]). "Inherent in a new felony conviction is the fact that a parole violation was sustained" (Matter of O'Quinn v New York State Bd. of Parole, 132 Misc 2d 92, 95 [1986]). Upon his conviction of a new crime, petitioner's parole was automatically revoked by operation of law (see Matter of Thompson v New York State Div. of Parole, 171 AD2d 909 [1991]), and respondent had "a continuing, nondiscretionary, ministerial duty" to recalculate the maximum expiration date of petitioner's sentence (People ex rel. Melendez v Bennett, 291 AD2d 590, 591 [2002], lv denied 98 NY2d 602 [2002]; see Matter of Cruz v New York State Dept. of Correctional Servs., 288 AD2d 572, 573 [2001], appeal dismissed 97 NY2d 725 [2002]).
