THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, RESPONDENT,

                    V                              MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

JOSHUA D. MAHLEY, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.


DAVISON LAW OFFICE, PLLC, CANANDAIGUA (MARY P. DAVISON OF COUNSEL),
FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.

JOSEPH V. CARDONE, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, ALBION (KATHERINE BOGAN OF
COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT.


     Appeal from a judgment of the Orleans County Court (James P.
Punch, J.), rendered December 20, 2010. The judgment convicted
defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of rape in the second degree and
sexual abuse in the second degree.

     It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is
unanimously modified as a matter of discretion in the interest of
justice and on the law by amending the order of protection issued in
favor of the victim of sexual abuse in the second degree to expire on
November 22, 2016 and as modified the judgment is affirmed.

     Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him
upon his plea of guilty of rape in the second degree (Penal Law §
130.30 [1]) and sexual abuse in the second degree (§ 130.60 [2]).
Defendant failed to preserve for our review his contention that County
Court relied on inaccurate information in sentencing him with respect
to the rape conviction (see People v Lord, 59 AD3d 1010, lv denied 12
NY3d 855), and we decline to exercise our power to review that
contention as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice (see
CPL 470.15 [6] [a]). The sentence imposed upon the rape conviction is
not unduly harsh or severe.

     Defendant further contends that the court erred in fixing the
duration of the orders of protection. Although defendant also failed
to preserve that contention for our review (see People v Nieves, 2
NY3d 310, 317-318), we nevertheless exercise our power to review it as
a matter of discretion in the interest of justice (see CPL 470.15 [6]
[a]). The order of protection issued in favor of the victim of rape
does not exceed the maximum legal duration, but the order of
protection issued in favor of the victim of sexual abuse in the second
degree exceeds the maximum legal duration. The version of CPL 530.13
(4) (B) in effect at the time the judgment was rendered provided that
                                 -2-                          1308
                                                         KA 11-00593

the duration of an order of protection entered with respect to a class
A misdemeanor conviction shall not exceed “five years from the date of
the expiration of the maximum term of a definite or intermittent term
actually imposed.” Further, “the duration may not be applied to the
aggregate sentence but, rather, must be added to the maximum term of
the sentence imposed for the count upon which the order of protection
was based” (People v Jackson, 85 AD3d 1697, 1699, lv denied 17 NY3d
817 [internal quotation marks omitted]). Thus, the order of
protection at issue may not exceed five years from the expiration of
the one-year definite sentence imposed upon the conviction of sexual
abuse in the second degree (see CPL 530.13 [former (4) (B)]). Taking
into account the applicable jail time credit, we therefore modify the
judgment by amending the order of protection issued in favor of the
victim of sexual abuse in the second degree to expire on November 22,
2016.
