The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Richard Tierno, Appellant.
[690 NYS2d 800]

—Judgment unanimously modified on the law and as modified affirmed and matter remitted to Onondaga County Court for further proceedings in accordance with the following Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him upon a plea of guilty of grand larceny in the third degree (Penal Law § 155.35). County Court erred in ordering defendant to pay restitution in the amount of $152,062.94 without holding a hearing on that issue. Defendant made no statement at the plea proceeding or at sentencing to support the amount of restitution ordered by the court (see, People v Consalvo, 89 NY2d 140 , 144-145; People v Barnett, 237 AD2d 917 , 918, Iv denied 90 NY2d 855 ). The court improperly relied on amounts recited in the presentence report (see, People v Bernier, 197 AD2d 882 ; People v Millar, 144 AD2d 1032 , 1032-1033). That document does not contain sufficient evidence to support “a finding as to the dollar amount of the fruits of the offense and the actual out-of-pocket loss to the victim caused by the offense” (Penal Law § 60.27 [2]; see, People v Mangan, 258 AD2d 819 ; People v Lynch, 255 AD2d 1001 ; People v Swanson, 244 AD2d 945 , Iv denied 91 NY2d 898 ). Thus, we modify the judgment by vacating the amount of restitution, and we remit the matter to Onondaga County Court for a hearing to determine the amount of restitution. (Appeal from Judgment of Onondaga County Court, Burke, J. — Grand Larceny, 3rd Degree.) Present — Denman, P. J., Hayes, Wisner, Hurlbutt and Callahan, JJ.
