People v Guzman, 2017 NY Slip Op 07140 [154 AD3d 775]

October 11, 2017

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Jose Guzman, Appellant.

Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (Angad Singh of counsel), for appellant.

Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, NY (John M. Castellano, Johnnette Traill, and Christopher Blira-Koessler 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 (Margulis, J.), imposed January 28, 2015, 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 , 339-342 [2015]; People v Lopez , 6 NY3d 248 , 256-257 [2006]). The defendant’s valid waiver of the right to appeal precludes review of his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive ( see People v Lopez , 6 NY3d at 255-256). Eng, P.J., Leventhal, Austin, Duffy and Barros, JJ., concur..
