No. 46  
The People &c.,
            Respondent,
        v.
Terence G. Jordan,
            Appellant.
Elon D. Harpaz, for appellant. 
Vincent Rivellese, for respondent.
MEMORANDUM:
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.
In 2000, defendant pleaded guilty to assault in the
second degree and was sentenced to three years of imprisonment. 
After our decision in People v Catu (4 NY3d 242 [2005]), he was

No. 46
resentenced by Supreme Court, which pronounced a term of post-
release supervision that had been mistakenly omitted at the time
of the first sentencing.  Defendant appealed from the
resentencing to the Appellate Division, asking that the
conviction and sentence entered on his guilty plea be vacated.
The Appellate Division correctly held that defendant
could not challenge his plea on appeal from a resentencing
proceeding.  CPL 450.30 (3) provides that "when a resentence
occurs more than thirty days after the original sentence, a
defendant who has not previously filed a notice of appeal from
the judgment may not appeal from the judgment, but only from the
resentence."  An appeal such as this one seeking immediate relief
from an underlying judgment of conviction is not one "only from
the resentence."
