The People of the State of New York, Appellant v. Paul Boyd, Respondent

Summary

The Court held that the defendant's guilty plea was invalid because the trial judge failed to advise the specific duration of post‑release supervision, an error that is appealable even without a post‑allocution motion, and that the remedy is vacatur of the plea rather than resentence under Penal Law § 70.85; the case was remanded to the Supreme Court for further proceedings.
