Opinion
MEMORANDUM:
Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him upon his plea of guilty of, inter alia, attempted burglary in the second degree (Penal Law §§ 110.00, 140.25[2] ). We agree with defendant that vacatur of the plea and reversal of the judgment of conviction are required because County Court failed to advise him, at the time of the plea, of the period of postrelease supervision that would be imposed at sentencing (see People v. Turner, 24 N.Y.3d 254, 259, 997 N.Y.S.2d 671, 22 N.E.3d 179 ; People v. Catu, 4 N.Y.3d 242, 245, 792 N.Y.S.2d 887, 825 N.E.2d 1081 ; People v. Colon, 101 A.D.3d 1635, 1637–1638, 956 N.Y.S.2d 347 ; People v. Dean, 52 A.D.3d 1308, 1308, 861 N.Y.S.2d 545, lv. denied 11 N.Y.3d 736, 864 N.Y.S.2d 394, 894 N.E.2d 658 ). In light of our determination, we do not address defendant's remaining contentions.
It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously reversed on the law, the plea is vacated, and the matter is remitted to Niagara County Court for further proceedings on the indictment.
