Crimes
- Appeal
- Valid Waiver of Right to Appeal
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Nassau County (Meryl J. Berkowitz, J.), rendered May 14, 2024, convicting him of murder in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree (two counts), upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that his plea of guilty was not knowing, voluntary, and intelligent is unpreserved for appellate review, since the defendant did not move to withdraw his plea or otherwise raise this issue before the County Court (see CPL 470.05 [2]; People v Peque, 22 NY3d 168, 182 [2013]; People v Lopez, 71 NY2d 662, 666 [1988]). In any event, the record demonstrates that the defendant's plea of guilty was entered knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently (see People v Harris, 61 NY2d 9, 17 [1983]; People v Sulaiman, 134 AD3d 860, 861 [2015]). Barros, J.P., Genovesi, Ventura and Goldberg Velazquez, JJ., concur.
