The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
v
Darius Drummond, Appellant.
April 29, 2026
APPEARANCES OF COUNSEL
Patricia Pazner, New York, NY (Tammy E. Linn of counsel; Maris G. Medina on the memorandum), for appellant.
Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove and Avshalom Yotam of counsel; Hannah Thomas on the memorandum), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Jane C. Tully, J.), imposed February 16, 2024, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.
Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.
The defendant's contentions regarding the validity of the waiver of the right to appeal are without merit (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256 [2006]; People v Annunziata, 246 AD3d 755 [2026]). 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; People v Annunziata, 246 AD3d 755 [2026]). Duffy, J.P., Chambers, Dowling, Landicino and Hom, JJ., concur.
