| The People of the State of New York,
Respondent, v Carlos A. Hernandez, Appellant. |
Karen G. Leslie, Riverhead, NY, for appellant.
Raymond A. Tierney, District Attorney, Riverhead, NY (Rosalind C. Gray of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the County Court, Suffolk County (Karen M. Wilutis, J.), imposed February 14, 2024, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.
Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the record demonstrates that he knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 257 [2006]; People v Esson, 225 AD3d 786, 787 [2024]). The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his excessive sentence claim (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d at 256; People v Jackson, 213 AD3d 697, 697 [2023]). Barros, J.P., Miller, Christopher, Warhit and Golia, JJ., concur.
