People v Fuentes, 2020 NY Slip Op 01076 [180 AD3d 803]

February 13, 2020

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Jose Fuentes, Appellant.

Janet E. Sabel, New York, NY (Steven J. Miraglia of counsel), for appellant.

Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove and Amy Appelbaum of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (John G. Ingram, J.), imposed November 3, 2016, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.

Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.

The record demonstrates that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal ( see People v Sanders , 25 NY3d 337 , 340-341 [2015]). 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 248 , 256 [2006]). Rivera, J.P., Maltese, Barros, Brathwaite Nelson and Iannacci, JJ., concur..
