People v Gonzalez, 2024 NY Slip Op 05455 [232 AD3d 625]

November 6, 2024

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Roberto Gonzalez, Appellant.

Patricia Pazner, New York, NY (Russ Altman-Merino of counsel), for appellant.

Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove and Solomon Neubort of counsel; Rebecca Siegel on the memorandum), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Jane Tully, J.), imposed September 30, 2022, 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 Thomas , 34 NY3d 545 [2019]; People v Lopez , 6 NY3d 248 [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; People v Robinson , 230 AD3d 1340 , 1340-1341 [2d Dept 2024]). Barros, J.P., Miller, Ford, Taylor and Golia, JJ., concur..
