People v Taylor, 2023 NY Slip Op 03021 [217 AD3d 688]

June 7, 2023

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Damion Taylor, Appellant.

Gerald Zuckerman, Croton-on-Hudson, NY, for appellant.

Miriam E. Rocah, District Attorney, White Plains, NY (William C. Milaccio of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Barry E. Warhit, J.), rendered September 15, 2021, convicting him of failure to register as a sex offender, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The record demonstrates that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal ( see People v Thomas , 34 NY3d 545 [2019]; People v Lopez , 6 NY3d 248 [2006]). The defendant’s valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive ( see People v Lopez , 6 NY3d at 255). Brathwaite Nelson, J.P., Maltese, Wooten and Wan, JJ., concur..
