People v Huber, 2020 NY Slip Op 04966 [186 AD3d 1400]

September 16, 2020

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Devin Huber, Appellant.

Melanson Law Office, P.C., Kingston, NY (Thomas J. Melanson of counsel), for appellant.

William V. Grady, District Attorney, Poughkeepsie, NY (Kirsten A. Rappleyea of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Dutchess County (Edward T. McLoughlin, J.), rendered February 8, 2019, convicting him of sexual abuse in the first degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The record demonstrates that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal ( see People v Sanders , 25 NY3d 337 , 340-341 [2015]; People v Lopez , 6 NY3d 248 , 256 [2006]; People v Batista , 167 AD3d 69 , 74 [2018]). The defendant’s valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his contention that the County Court improvidently exercised its discretion in declining to grant him youthful offender treatment ( see People v Pacherille , 25 NY3d 1021 , 1024 [2015]; People v Basurto-Lopez , 166 AD3d 643 , 643 [2018]). Rivera, J.P., Duffy, Barros and Iannacci, JJ., concur..
