Yes, if its part of the conditions of his sentence, he must take the classes even if not eligible for a conditional discharge. However, I have been informed by some courts that DMV will not accept someone into the Drinking Driver Program who is not eligible for a conditional license. If that happens, the defendant must go back to the sentencing court and have the sentence amended. That might require the filing of whats called a CPL 440.20 motion.
