People v Charles, 2019 NY Slip Op 02540 [171 AD3d 781]

April 3, 2019

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Sherwin Charles, Appellant.

Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (David P. Greenberg of counsel), for appellant.

Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove and Gamaliel Marrero of counsel; Anna Arena on the memorandum), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Elizabeth Foley, J.), imposed April 7, 2017, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.

Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.

The defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal ( see People v Bryant , 28 NY3d 1094 , 1096 [2016]; People v Sanders , 25 NY3d 337 , 339-342 [2015]; People v Bodrick , 165 AD3d 692 [2018]; People v Brown , 161 AD3d 766 [2018]). 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 Bradshaw , 18 NY3d 257 , 265 [2011]; People v Lopez , 6 NY3d 248 , 255 [2006]). Austin, J.P., Leventhal, Cohen, Barros and Christopher, JJ., concur..
