People v Smith, 2020 NY Slip Op 04786 [186 AD3d 872]

August 26, 2020

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Joe Smith, Appellant.

John R. Lewis, Sleepy Hollow, NY, for appellant.

David M. Hoovler, District Attorney, Goshen, NY (William C. Ghee of counsel), for respondent.

Appeals by the defendant from two judgments of the County Court, Orange County (William L. DeProspo, J.), both rendered January 7, 2019, convicting him of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree under indictment No. 18-00231 and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree under Superior Court information No. 18-00511, upon his pleas of guilty, and imposing sentences.

Ordered that the judgments are affirmed.

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 Thomas , 34 NY3d 545 , 564 [2019]; People v Bradshaw , 18 NY3d 257 , 264-267 [2011]; People v Ramos , 7 NY3d 737 , 738 [2006]; People v Lopez , 6 NY3d 248 , 255-256 [2006]; People v Stanley , 99 AD3d 955 [2012]). Dillon, J.P., LaSalle, Iannacci and Christopher, JJ., concur..
