| The People of the State of New York,
Respondent, v Franklin Hidalgo, Appellant. |
Twyla Carter, New York, NY (Ji Hyun Rhim of counsel), for appellant.
Michael E. McMahon, District Attorney, Staten Island, NY (James Joseph Gandia of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Lisa Grey, J.), imposed May 31, 2024, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.
Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.
The record demonstrates that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256 [2006]; People v McCorkle, 230 AD3d 1337 [2024]). 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 255-256; People v McCorkle, 230 AD3d at 1337). Barros, J.P., Brathwaite Nelson, Dowling, Landicino and Hom, JJ., concur.
