Crimes
- Appeal
- Valid Waiver of Right to Appeal
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Orange County (Craig Stephen Brown, J.), rendered February 5, 2024, convicting him of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree and criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The record demonstrates that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal (see People v Thomas, 34 NY3d 545, 560 [2019]; People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248 [2006]). 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; People v Washington, 214 AD3d 910, 911 [2023]). Dillon, J.P., Dowling, Landicino and McCormack, JJ., concur.
