Respondent, v Clifford Taylor, Appellant. |
Christina Swarns, Office of The Appellate Defender, New York (Stephen R. Strother of counsel), for appellant.
Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Michael D. Tarbutton of counsel), for respondent.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Neil E. Ross, J.), rendered July 11, 2016, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony drug offender previously convicted of a violent felony, to a term of four years, unanimously affirmed.
Defendant made a valid waiver of his right to appeal, which forecloses his suppression claims. The court's oral colloquy with defendant concerning the waiver exceeded the minimum standards for such a colloquy (see People v Bryant, 28 NY3d 1094 [2016]), and it was supplemented by a detailed written waiver.
