Sheldon Silver’s corruption conviction cost him a ticket to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

The former Assembly Speaker resigned as a Democratic superdelegate in February, a state Democratic Party spokesman confirmed.

Silver, who was convicted in November on fraud, money-laundering and extortion charges, might have been able to attend the convention. Superdelegates are only removed if they die, are imprisoned or resign, according to DNC rules. He will be sentenced April 13, six days before the New York primary.

Silver had led the state’s Democratic delegation at past conventions. He gave a speech on the floor while delivering New York’s delegate votes at the 2012 convention in Charlotte.

State Democrats plan to name a replacement for Silver at their nominating convention in May.
