The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Alexander Santiago, Defendant-Appellant. (2024)

Supreme Court, Appellate Term, New York,

The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Alexander Santiago, Defendant-Appellant.

18-187

Decided: January 11, 2024

PRESENT: Hagler, P.J., Brigantti, Tisch, JJ.

Per Curiam.

Judgment of conviction (Julio Rodriguez III, J.), rendered October 3, 2017, affirmed.

Defendant made a valid waiver of his right to appeal (see People v Thomas, 34 NY3d 545, 558 [2019], cert denied 589 US ___, 140 S Ct 2634 [2020]). The combination of the court's oral colloquy with defendant and the detailed written waiver that he signed after consultation with counsel satisfied the requirements of a valid waiver. This waiver forecloses review of defendant's excessive sentence claim (see People v Jackson, 138 AD3d 403 [2016], lv denied 27 NY3d 1152 [2016]). Notwithstanding the waiver, we perceive no basis for reducing defendant's sentence.
