December 6, 2000.

Appeal by the defendant from a resentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Jones, J.), imposed December 23, 1997, upon his convictions of manslaughter in the first degree, attempted murder in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, and criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree.

M. Sue Wycoff, New York, N.Y. (John Gemmill of counsel), for appellant.

Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove and Anthea H. Bruffee of counsel), for respondent.

Before: THOMAS R. SULLIVAN, J.P., SONDRA MILLER, MYRIAM J. ALTMAN, WILLIAM D. FRIEDMANN, JJ.


DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the resentence is affirmed.

Upon granting the defendant's motion pursuant to CPL 440.20 to vacate his sentence, the Supreme Court set aside his sentence as a second violent felony offender and resentenced him, as a second felony offender, to the same term of imprisonment originally imposed. The defendant contends that this was improper and that the matter should be remitted for further resentencing.

The record demonstrates that the error of the original sentencing court (Egitto, J.), concerning the defendant's predicate status did not influence the determination on the resentence. Therefore, further resentencing is not required (see, People v. Capers, 177 A.D.2d 992; People v. Stone, 150 A.D.2d 815; cf., People v. Parks, 186 A.D.2d 416; People v. Smith, 129 A.D.2d 517). The resentence imposed under either predicate status was proper.
