| The People of the State of New York,
Respondent, v Bryan Whittle, Appellant. |
Mintz Law PLLC, New York, NY (Marshall A. Mintz of counsel), for appellant.
Anthony P. Parisi, District Attorney, Poughkeepsie, NY (Kirsten A. Rappleyea of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the County Court, Dutchess County (Edward T. McLoughlin, J.), imposed April 1, 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 Thomas, 34 NY3d 545 [2019]; People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248 [2006]). The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d at 255).
The People's remaining contention is without merit. Iannacci, J.P., Chambers, Ford, Taylor and McCormack, JJ., concur.
