Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a “new sentence” imposed by County Court pursuant to the Drug Law Reform Act (L 2004, ch 738) upon his 1986 conviction of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the first degree (Penal Law § 220.43) and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the first degree (§ 220.21), both class A-I felonies.
