People v Fuhrer, 2019 NY Slip Op 08577 [177 AD3d 999]

November 27, 2019

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Christopher D. Fuhrer, Appellant.

Janet E. Sabel, New York, NY (Heidi Bota of counsel; John Clayton on the memorandum), for appellant.

John M. Ryan, Acting District Attorney, Kew Gardens, NY (John M. Castellano and Johnnette Traill of counsel; Deanna Russo on the memorandum), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Gia Morris, J.), imposed September 19, 2017, 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 Bryant , 28 NY3d 1094 [2016]; People v Sanders , 25 NY3d 337 , 339-342 [2015]; People v Batista , 167 AD3d 69 , 75 [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 , 255-256 [2006]). Rivera, J.P., Maltese, Barros, Brathwaite Nelson and Iannacci, JJ., concur..
