People v Hernandez, 2018 NY Slip Op 01615 [159 AD3d 831]

March 14, 2018

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Victor Hernandez, Appellant.

Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (Dina Zloczower of counsel), for appellant.

Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove and Jean M. Joyce of counsel; Felix O. De Jesus on the memorandum), for respondent.

Appeals by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from two sentences of the Supreme Court, Kings County (William Miller, J.), both imposed May 7, 2015, upon his pleas of guilty, on the ground that the sentences were excessive.

Ordered that the sentences are 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 Ramos , 7 NY3d 737 , 738 [2006]). The defendant’s valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes review of his contention that the sentences imposed were excessive ( see People v Lopez , 6 NY3d 248 , 255-256 [2006]). Scheinkman, P.J., Mastro, Roman, LaSalle and Christopher, JJ., concur..
