People v Gamarra, 2015 NY Slip Op 02496 [126 AD3d 998]

March 25, 2015

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Richard Gamarra, Appellant.

Lynn W.L. Fahey, New York, N.Y., for appellant.

Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano and Laura Ross of counsel; Lorrie A. Zinno on the memorandum), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Lasak, J.), imposed January 23, 2008, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.

Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant’s contention, he knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal ( see People v Ramos , 7 NY3d 737 , 738 [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 Bradshaw , 18 NY3d 257 , 264-267 [2011]; People v Ramos , 7 NY3d at 738; People v Lopez , 6 NY3d 248 , 255 [2006]). Eng, P.J., Skelos, Leventhal, Roman and Duffy, JJ., concur..
