Crimes - Plea of Guilty - Forfeiture of Right to Raise Issues on Appeal

Crimes - Appeal - Waiver of Right to Appeal

Appeal from a judgment of the Monroe County Court (Julie M. Hahn, J.), rendered September 23, 2022. The judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the second 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 attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree (Penal Law §§ 110.00, 265.03 [3]). We affirm.

By pleading guilty, defendant forfeited his present challenge to evidentiary rulings at the suppression hearing (see People v Poole, 55 AD3d 1354, 1354-1355 [4th Dept 2008], lv denied 11 NY3d 929 [2009]; see also People v Hansen, 95 NY2d 227, 230-231 [2000]). Contrary to defendant's further contention, his waiver of the right to appeal was knowing, voluntary, and intelligent (see People v Brinson, 240 AD3d 1376, 1377 [4th Dept 2025]; see generally People v Thomas, 34 NY3d 545, 559-564 [2019], cert denied 589 US 1302 [2020]). Defendant's valid waiver of the right to appeal precludes our review of his contention that he was denied his statutory right to a speedy trial (see People v Kelly, 231 AD3d 1515, 1516 [4th Dept 2024], lv denied 43 NY3d 931 [2025]). Present—Lindley, J.P., Curran, Ogden, Nowak and Keane, JJ.
