People v Dure, 2023 NY Slip Op 00671 [213 AD3d 772]

February 8, 2023

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Pablo Dure, Appellant.

Scott M. Bishop, White Plains, NY, for appellant.

Miriam E. Rocah, District Attorney, White Plains, NY (William C. Milaccio of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Susan Cacace, J.), rendered June 1, 2021, convicting him of course of sexual conduct against a child in the first 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 , 564-565 [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 sentence imposed was excessive ( see People v Lopez , 6 NY3d at 255). Duffy, J.P., Miller, Dowling and Warhit, JJ., concur..
