HEADNOTES


Crimes - Appeal - Valid Waiver of Right to Appeal

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Raymond L. Rodriguez, J.), imposed June 23, 2023, 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, 254, 257 [2006]; People v Greenfeld, 234 AD3d 712, 712 [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 255-256). Iannacci, J.P., Christopher, Voutsinas, Love and Goldberg Velazquez, JJ., concur.
