People v Lopez, 2022 NY Slip Op 02562 [204 AD3d 940]

April 20, 2022

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Victor Lopez, Appellant.

Jan Murphy, Huntington, NY, for appellant.

Anne T. Donnelly, District Attorney, Mineola, NY (Jason R. Richards and David L. Glovin of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Patricia A. Harrington, J.), rendered February 11, 2020, convicting him of murder in the second degree, conspiracy in the second degree, and conspiracy in the fourth 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 Lopez , 6 NY3d 248 , 254, 257 [2006]). The defendant’s valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive ( see id. at 255-256; People v Lopez , 199 AD3d 704 , 704 [2021]; People v Swen , 164 AD3d 926 , 928 [2018]). Barros, J.P., Connolly, Christopher and Genovesi, JJ., concur..
