THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, RESPONDENT, v. JAYSON L. GREENFIELD, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.

463 Decided: June 27, 2025

PRESENT: CURRAN, J.P., BANNISTER, SMITH, DELCONTE, AND HANNAH, JJ.

RYAN JAMES MULDOON, AUBURN, FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLANT. JOHN NABINGER, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, WATERLOO (KEVIN URBAITIS OF COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.

Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him upon his plea of guilty of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the second degree (Penal Law § 220.18 [2]). We affirm.

We reject defendant's contention that his waiver of the right to appeal is invalid. Here, the oral waiver colloquy, which followed the appropriate model colloquy, establishes that defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal (see People v Linda R.M., 236 AD3d 1488, 1488 [4th Dept 2025]; People v Smith, 164 AD3d 1621, 1621 [4th Dept 2018], lv denied 32 NY3d 1177 [2019]; see generally People v Thomas, 34 NY3d 545, 559-564 [2019], cert denied — US —, 140 S Ct 2634 [2020]). Defendant's valid waiver encompasses his challenge to the severity of the sentence (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256 [2006]; People v Bailey, 230 AD3d 1543, 1544 [4th Dept 2024], lv denied 42 NY3d 1034 [2024]; People v Foumakoye, 229 AD3d 1380, 1380 [4th Dept 2024], lv denied 42 NY3d 970 [2024]).
