People v Nysaiah L., 2019 NY Slip Op 05792 [174 AD3d 822]

July 24, 2019

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Nysaiah L., Appellant.

Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (David P. Greenberg of counsel), for appellant.

Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove, Jodi L. Mandel, and Daniel Berman of counsel), for respondent.

Appeals by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from two sentences of the Supreme Court, Kings County (James P. Sullivan, J.), both imposed January 10, 2017, upon his pleas of guilty, on the ground that the sentences were excessive.

Ordered that the sentences are affirmed.

The record demonstrates that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal ( see People v Bryant , 28 NY3d 1094 , 1096 [2016]; People v Sanders , 25 NY3d 337 , 339-342 [2015]; People v Lopez , 6 NY3d 248 , 256-257 [2006]; cf. People v Powell , 158 AD3d 824 [2018]). The defendant’s valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his contention that the sentences imposed were excessive ( see People v Lopez , 6 NY3d at 255-256). Mastro, J.P., Leventhal, Miller, Duffy and LaSalle, JJ., concur..
