PEOPLE v. GRAY (2020)

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 robbery in the first degree (Penal Law

§ 160.15 [4] ).  We affirm.  County Court's oral colloquy, together with “ ‘all the relevant facts and circumstances surrounding the waiver, including the nature and terms of the agreement and the age, experience and background of the accused,’ ” reveal that defendant's waiver of the right to appeal was knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily entered (People v. Thomas, 34 N.Y.3d 545, 559–60, 122 N.Y.S.3d 226, 144 N.E.3d 970, 2019 N.Y. Slip Op. 08545, *4 [2019], quoting People v. Seaberg, 74 N.Y.2d 1, 11, 543 N.Y.S.2d 968, 541 N.E.2d 1022 [1989]).  Because defendant's waiver of the right to appeal was “manifestly intended” to cover all waivable aspects of the case, his challenge to the court's suppression ruling is precluded (People v. Kemp, 94 N.Y.2d 831, 833, 703 N.Y.S.2d 59, 724 N.E.2d 754 [1999];  see People v. Sampson, 156 A.D.3d 1484, 1484, 65 N.Y.S.3d 844 [4th Dept. 2017], lv denied 31 N.Y.3d 1017, 78 N.Y.S.3d 287, 102 N.E.3d 1068 [2018];  People v. Payne, 148 A.D.3d 1226, 1227, 49 N.Y.S.3d 761 [3d Dept. 2017], lv denied 29 N.Y.3d 1084, 64 N.Y.S.3d 174, 86 N.E.3d 261 [2017]).  We note that the certificate of conviction incorrectly states that defendant was sentenced on March 6, 2025, and it must be amended to reflect the correct sentencing date of March 6, 2015 (see People v. Curtis, 162 A.D.3d 1758, 1758, 76 N.Y.S.3d 443 [4th Dept. 2018], lv denied 32 N.Y.3d 1003, 86 N.Y.S.3d 761, 111 N.E.3d 1117 [2018]).
