PEOPLE v. JACKSON (2023)

Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department, New York.

The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Raheen JACKSON, Defendant–Appellant.

739 Decided: October 10, 2023

Manzanet–Daniels, J.P., Gesmer, González, Kennedy, O'Neill Levy, JJ.

Caprice R. Jenerson, Office of Appellate Defender, New York (Stephanie Sonsino of counsel), for appellant. Darcel D. Clark, District Attorney, Bronx (Emily A. Aldridge of counsel), for respondent.

Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Michael A. Gross, J., at suppression hearing; Ralph Fabrizio, J, at plea and sentencing), rendered July 23, 2018, convicting defendant of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, and sentencing him to a term of 31/212 years followed by five years’ postrelease supervision, unanimously affirmed.

Defendant made a valid waiver of his right to appeal (see People v. Thomas, 34 N.Y.3d 545, 122 N.Y.S.3d 226, 144 N.E.3d 970 [2019], cert denied 589 U.S. ––––, 140 S.Ct. 2634, 206 L.Ed.2d 512 [2020]). The combination of the court's colloquy and the detailed written waiver that defendant signed after consultation with counsel satisfied the requirements of a valid waiver. This waiver forecloses review of defendant's suppression claim.

In view of this holding, we need not reach the remaining issues.
