OPINION OF THE COURT

Memorandum.

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.

Upon remitting the matter for resentencing based on the sentencing court having — as a result of the parties' mutual mistake — adjudicated defendant a second felony offender, the Appellate Division allowed the People to allege a different prior felony conviction as a basis for the adjudication. Citing Matter of Kisloff v Covington (73 NY2d 445, 452 [1989]), the Appellate Division correctly ruled that in the event defendant cannot properly be adjudicated a second felony offender, the People should not be permitted to withdraw their consent to defendant's guilty plea.

Order affirmed in a memorandum.
