The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Deron BOSTIC, Defendant-Appellant. (Appeal No. 1.)
In appeal No. 1, defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him upon his plea of guilty of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree (Penal Law § 220.16[12] ) and, in appeal Nos. 2 and 3, he appeals from judgments convicting him upon his respective pleas of guilty in those appeals of attempted bail jumping in the first degree (§§ 110.00, 215.57) and attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree (§§ 110.00, 220.16[12] ). Contrary to the contention of defendant, the record establishes that his waiver of the right to appeal was voluntarily, knowingly, and intelligently entered (see People v. Lopez, 6 N.Y.3d 248, 256, 811 N.Y.S.2d 623, 844 N.E.2d 1145; People v. Egan, 6 A.D.3d 1206, 775 N.Y.S.2d 714, lv. denied 3 N.Y.3d 639, 782 N.Y.S.2d 410, 816 N.E.2d 200; People v. Willis, 2 A.D.3d 1322, 768 N.Y.S.2d 898, lv. denied 2 N.Y.3d 748, 778 N.Y.S.2d 473, 810 N.E.2d 926). The valid waiver by defendant of the right to appeal encompasses his challenge to Supreme Court's suppression ruling in appeal No. 1 (see People v. Kemp, 94 N.Y.2d 831, 833, 703 N.Y.S.2d 59, 724 N.E.2d 754; People v. Worthy, 46 A.D.3d 1382, 847 N.Y.S.2d 806, lv. denied 10 N.Y.3d 773, 854 N.Y.S.2d 334, 883 N.E.2d 1269), as well as his challenge to the severity of the sentences imposed in each appeal (see People v. Hidalgo, 91 N.Y.2d 733, 737, 675 N.Y.S.2d 327, 698 N.E.2d 46).
It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.
