People v Gomez-Castillo, 2019 NY Slip Op 04404 [173 AD3d 765]

June 5, 2019

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Gerberth Gomez-Castillo, Appellant.

Laurette D. Mulry, Riverhead, NY (Alfred J. Cicale of counsel), for appellant.

Timothy D. Sini, District Attorney, Riverhead, NY (Kathleen Becker Langlan of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Richard Ambro, J.), imposed December 4, 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 , 1096 [2016]; People v Sanders , 25 NY3d 337 , 341 [2015]; People v Lopez , 6 NY3d 248 , 256-257 [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 255-256). Mastro, J.P., Leventhal, Miller, Duffy and LaSalle, JJ., concur..
