| The People of the State of New York,
Respondent, v Evan Ross, Appellant. |
Kenyon C. Trachte, Newburgh, NY, for appellant.
David M. Hoovler, District Attorney, Goshen, NY (Christopher Kelly of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Orange County (Craig S. Brown, J.), rendered November 21, 2023, convicting him of robbery in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant was convicted of robbery in the second degree (Penal Law § 160.10 [1]), upon a plea of guilty, and the County Court sentenced him to a determinate term of imprisonment of eight years, to be followed by five years of postrelease supervision.
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, 255 [2006]; People v Eastman, 234 AD3d 985, 986 [2025]). 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; People v Eastman, 234 AD3d at 986). Duffy, J.P., Miller, Warhit and Love, JJ., concur.
