People v Rooney, 2018 NY Slip Op 05339 [163 AD3d 852]

July 18, 2018

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Matthew Rooney, Appellant.

Laurette D. Mulry, Riverhead, NY (Alfred J. Cicale of counsel), for appellant.

Timothy D. Sini, District Attorney, Riverhead, NY (Timothy P. Finnerty of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his brief, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Richard Ambro, J.), imposed February 18, 2016, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.

Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.

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]). The defendant’s valid waiver precludes appellate review of his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive ( see People v Lopez , 6 NY3d at 255-256; People v Dietz , 152 AD3d 717 [2017]). Rivera, J.P., Hinds-Radix, LaSalle and Brathwaite Nelson, JJ., concur..
