Respondent, v Johaan Littlejohn, Appellant. |
The Legal Aid Bureau of Buffalo, Inc., Buffalo (Braedan M. Gillman of counsel), for defendant-appellant.
Michael J. Keane, District Attorney, Buffalo (Paul J. Williams, III, of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal from a judgment of the Erie County Court (Kenneth F. Case, J.), rendered April 24, 2023. The judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree.
It is hereby ordered that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.
Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree (Penal Law § 265.02 [1]). Contrary to defendant's contention, we conclude on this record that defendant's waiver of the right to appeal was knowing, voluntary, and intelligent (see People v Zukic, 240 AD3d 1192, 1193 [4th Dept 2025], lv denied 44 NY3d 995 [2025]), and the valid waiver forecloses defendant's challenge to the severity of the sentence (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256 [2006]). Present—Curran, J.P., Bannister, Ogden, DelConte and Hannah, JJ.
