Crimes
- Appeal
- Valid Waiver of Right to Appeal
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Raymond L. Rodriguez, J.), rendered September 16, 2022, convicting him of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the record demonstrates that he knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal (see People v Thomas, 34 NY3d 545, 558-564 [2019]; People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 255-257 [2006]; People v Corbin, 121 AD3d 803, 804-805 [2014]). The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his challenge to the Supreme Court's denial of his motion to dismiss the indictment on the ground that he was deprived of his statutory right to a speedy trial (see People v Detres, 237 AD3d 846 [2025]; People v Montano, 235 AD3d 1003, 1003-1004 [2025]; People v McLeod, 235 AD3d 999 [2025]; People v Gore, 224 AD3d 848, 848-849 [2024]), as well as his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive (see People v Montano, 235 AD3d at 1004; People v Cabral, 223 AD3d 839, 839 [2024]; People v Stevens, 203 AD3d 958, 960-961 [2022]). Iannacci, J.P., Wooten, Dowling and McCormack, JJ., concur.
