People v Isiah M., 2019 NY Slip Op 07909 [177 AD3d 640]

November 6, 2019

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Isiah M., Appellant.

Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (Benjamin Welikson of counsel), for appellant.

Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Julian Joiris of counsel; West Overstreet on the memorandum), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Dineen Riviezzo, J.), imposed October 16, 2017, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.

Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant’s contention, 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]; 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 sentence imposed was excessive ( see People v Lopez , 6 NY3d at 255-256). Balkin, J.P., Chambers, Cohen, Barros and Connolly, JJ., concur..
