| The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Douglas Worth, Appellant. (Appeal No. 1.) |
—[*1]
Douglas Worth, defendant-appellant pro se.
Michael C. Green, District Attorney, Rochester (Nancy Gilligan of counsel), for
respondent.
Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Monroe County (Joseph D. Valentino, J.), entered January 9, 2006 pursuant to the 2005 Drug Law Reform Act. The order denied defendant's application to be resentenced upon defendant's 1994 conviction of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the second degree and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree.
It is hereby ordered that the order so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.
Memorandum: In appeal No. 1, defendant appeals from an order denying his application for resentencing upon his 1994 conviction of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the second degree and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, pursuant to the 2005 Drug Law Reform Act (DLRA-2) (L 2005, ch 643, § 1). We reject defendant's contention that Supreme Court erred in failing to conduct a hearing on his application. Where a person qualifies to apply for DLRA-2 resentencing, "[t]he court shall offer an opportunity for a hearing and bring the applicant before it" (L 2005, ch 643, § 1; see generally People v Williams, 45 AD3d 1377 [2007]). Here, however, defendant was serving a sentence for violent felony offenses, and thus he was precluded from applying for resentencing (see L 2005, ch 643, § 1; Correction Law § 803 [1] [d]).
In appeal No. 2, defendant appeals from an order denying his motion pursuant to CPL 440.20
to set aside the sentence of imprisonment of 2
We have reviewed the contentions of defendant in his pro se supplemental brief and conclude that, to the extent that they have not been addressed by our decision herein, they are outside the scope of the instant appeals. Present—Centra, J.P., Fahey, Lindley, Gorski and Martoche, JJ.
