People v Hernandez, 2020 NY Slip Op 01639 [181 AD3d 714]

March 11, 2020

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Eric Hernandez, Appellant.

Gerald Zuckerman, Croton-on-Hudson, NY, for appellant.

Anthony A. Scarpino, Jr., District Attorney, White Plains, NY (Christine DiSalvo and William C. Milaccio of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Barry E. Warhit, J.), rendered June 21, 2018, convicting him of criminal possession of a weapon in the second 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 Sanders , 25 NY3d 337 , 339-342 [2015]; People v Lopez , 6 NY3d 248 , 256-257 [2006]). The defendant’s valid waiver of the right to appeal precludes appellate review of his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive ( see People v Hidalgo , 91 NY2d 733 [1998]). Rivera, J.P., Maltese, Connolly and Brathwaite Nelson, JJ., concur..
