| The People of the State of New York,
Respondent, v William Jacobs, Appellant. |
—[*1]
Janet DiFiore, District Attorney, White Plains, N.Y. (Jennifer Spencer, Steven A.
Bender, and Richard Longworth Hecht of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Lorenzo, J.), rendered October 13, 2010, convicting him of course of sexual conduct against a child in the first degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant validly waived his right to appeal (see People v Ramos, 7 NY3d 737 [2006]). Accordingly, the defendant waived his right to seek appellate review of the suppression ruling, claims of ineffective assistance of counsel that did not affect the voluntariness of the plea (see People v Soria, 99 AD3d 1027, 1028 [2012]), and the alleged excessiveness of the sentence (see People v Bissoon, 100 AD3d 917 [2012]). The record reveals that the defendant received an advantageous plea, and nothing in the record casts doubt on the apparent effectiveness of counsel (see People Ropiza, 100 AD3d 935 [2012]). Balkin, J.P., Chambers, Roman and Hinds-Radix, JJ., concur.
