People v Muniz, 2018 NY Slip Op 05204 [163 AD3d 725]

July 11, 2018

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Jeremy Muniz, Appellant.

The Legal Aid Society, New York, NY (Allen Fallek of counsel), for appellant.

Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, NY (John M. Castellano, Johnnette Traill, and William H. Branigan 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 (Marcia P. Hirsch, J.), imposed March 16, 2016, 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 his right to appeal precludes review of his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive ( see People v Lopez , 6 NY3d 248 , 255-256 [2006]). Leventhal, J.P., Austin, Cohen, Barros and Christopher, JJ., concur..
