People v Soto

Read the official decision: 2026 NY Slip Op 05918

Holding The court modified the judgment to vacate the specific expiration date of the order of protection because it was incorrectly calculated based on the wrong conviction and without accounting for jail time credit. The matter was remanded for a new determination of the order’s duration, while the order itself remains in effect pending that determination.

The court’s words

the expiration date of the order of protection is incorrect because it was calculated based on the expiration date of his sentence on the gun possession conviction
