| The People of the State of New York,
Respondent, v Thomas C. Florance, Appellant. |
Adam H. Van Buskirk, Auburn, for appellant.
Michael A. Korchak, District Attorney, Binghamton (Rita M. Basile of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Broome County (Kevin P. Dooley, J.), rendered November 26, 2019, which revoked defendant's probation and imposed a sentence of imprisonment.
In April 2019, defendant pleaded guilty to aggravated unlicensed operation of a
motor vehicle in the first degree and driving while ability impaired by drugs and waived
the right to appeal. County Court sentenced defendant to five years of probation and
advised him that if he violated the terms and conditions of his probation, he could be
sentenced to up to 1
Defendant's sole contention on appeal is that his resentence is harsh and excessive. Although this contention is not precluded by defendant's waiver of the right to appeal in connection with his original plea (see People v Lavalley, 100 AD3d 1151, 1151 n [3d Dept 2012]), the records of the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision reflect that defendant has been released from prison and has recently reached the maximum expiration date of his sentence. Accordingly, this issue is moot (see People v Ramsoondar, 206 AD3d 1157, 1161 [3d Dept 2022]; People v Taylor, 194 AD3d 1264, 1266 [3d Dept 2021], lv denied 37 NY3d 975 [2021]).
Garry, P.J., Egan Jr., Reynolds Fitzgerald, Ceresia and Fisher, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
