The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
v
Noah Carter, Appellant.
May 20, 2026
APPEARANCES OF COUNSEL
Twyla Carter, New York, NY (Steven Berko of counsel), for appellant.
Melinda Katz, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, NY (Johnnette Traill and William H. Branigan of counsel; Sarah Walter on the brief), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Frances Y. Wang, J.), rendered June 7, 2023, convicting him of attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the second 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 [2019]; People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256 [2006]). The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his contention that the period of postrelease supervision imposed as part of the sentence was excessive (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d at 255-256; People v Brown, 186 AD3d 849 [2020]). Connolly, J.P., Brathwaite Nelson, Warhit and Goldberg Velazquez, JJ., concur.
