Steven A. Feldman, Manhasset, NY, for appellant.

Anthony P. Parisi, District Attorney, Poughkeepsie, NY (Winter A. Vega of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Dutchess County (Edward T. McLoughlin, J.), rendered January 23, 2023, convicting him of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The record demonstrates that the defendant 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 defendant's remaining contention, challenging the imposition of a civil forfeiture of certain items and currency, is unpreserved for appellate review (see People v Coleman, 138 AD3d 1014, 1015 [2016]) and, in any event, without merit (see id.; cf. People v Carmichael, 123 AD3d 1053 [2014]). Iannacci, J.P., Genovesi, Landicino and Love, JJ., concur.
