Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Suffolk County (Efman, J.),rendered April 5, 2011, convicting him of attempted burglary in the second degree, upon his pleaof guilty, and imposing sentence.

The County Court failed to pronounce sentence, in violation of its obligation under CPL380.20. Accordingly, the sentence must be vacated and the matter remitted to the County Court,Suffolk County, for resentencing on the conviction of attempted burglary in the second degree(see Penal Law §§ 110.00, 140.25) in accordance with CPL 380.20 (see People v Henry, 80 AD3d 625,626 [2011]; People v White, 72AD3d 993, 994 [2010]; People vRobinson, 69 AD3d 885, 885 [2010]).

In light of our determination, we need not reach the defendant's remaining contention.Rivera, J.P., Dickerson, Hall and Miller, JJ., concur.
