People v Summerlin, 2018 NY Slip Op 06123 [164 AD3d 1380]

September 19, 2018

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Aaron Summerlin, Appellant.

Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (Samuel Ban of counsel), for appellant.

Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, NY (John M. Castellano, Johnnette Traill, and Anastasia Spanakos of counsel; Kathleen Halliday on the memorandum), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Tonie Cimino, J.), imposed February 23, 2017, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.

Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.

The record demonstrates that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal ( see People v Bryant , 28 NY3d 1094 [2016]; People v Sanders , 25 NY3d 337 , 339-342 [2015]; People v Lopez , 6 NY3d 248 , 256-257 [2006]). 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 at 255-256). Scheinkman, P.J., Balkin, Sgroi, Brathwaite Nelson and Christopher, JJ., concur..
