Opinion
March 22, 1999
Appeal from the County Court, Dutchess County (Dolan, J.).
Ordered that the purported appeal from the amended judgment rendered under Superior Court Information No. 80/96 is dismissed, as no appeal was ever taken from that amended judgment; and it is further,
Ordered that the amended judgment rendered under Indictment No. 37/96 is affirmed.
On October 25, 1996, amended judgments were rendered against the defendant under Indictment No. 37/96 and Superior Court Information No. 80/96. The defendant's notice of appeal, dated November 13, 1996, refers solely to the amended judgment under Indictment No. 37/96. Consequently, the purported appeal from the amended judgment rendered against the defendant under Superior Court Information No. 80/96 is dismissed.
The issues raised in the defendant's brief, which only pertain to the amended judgment rendered under Superior Court Information No. 80/96, are not properly before this Court on the appeal from the amended judgment rendered under Indictment No. 37/96. In any event, the court's certification of the defendant as a sex offender pursuant to New York's "Megan's Law" (Correction Law § 168-d) would not be reviewable on an appeal from the amended judgment rendered under Superior Court Information No. 80/96, even if such an appeal had been timely taken (see, People v. Hernandez, 250 A.D.2d 704; see also, People v. Stevens, 235 A.D.2d 440, affd 91 N.Y.2d 270).
