People v Hunter, 2020 NY Slip Op 03245 [184 AD3d 667]

June 10, 2020

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Edward Hunter, Appellant.

Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (Patricia Pazner of counsel; Patty C. Walton on the memorandum), for appellant.

Michael E. McMahon, District Attorney, Staten Island, NY (Morrie I. Kleinbart and Alexander Fumelli of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Mario F. Mattei, J.), imposed April 4, 2017, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive. Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.

The defendant’s valid waiver of the right to appeal precludes appellate review of his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive ( see People v Bradshaw , 18 NY3d 257 [2011]; People v Lopez , 6 NY3d 248 [2006]). Balkin, J.P., Chambers, Cohen, Connolly and Wooten, JJ., concur..
