PEOPLE v. THURMOND (2006)

Appeal by the defendant from two judgments of the County Court, Nassau County (Honorof, J.), both rendered July 1, 2004, convicting him of robbery in the second degree, robbery in the third degree, and attempted robbery in the third degree under Indictment No. 1692N/03, and criminal possession of a forged instrument in the second degree under Indictment No. 1937N/03, upon his pleas of guilty, and imposing sentences.

ORDERED that the judgments are affirmed.

The defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently entered into the plea agreements, and concomitantly waived his right to appeal both his convictions and sentences.   Since the defendant's claim that he should be afforded a second opportunity to challenge certain comments made about him in the pre-sentence report is not one that calls into question the legality of the sentences imposed, the claim is foreclosed from appellate review (see People v. Callahan, 80 N.Y.2d 273, 590 N.Y.S.2d 46, 604 N.E.2d 108;  People v. Brathwaite, 263 A.D.2d 89, 703 N.Y.S.2d 191;  People v. Egan, 6 A.D.3d 1206, 775 N.Y.S.2d 714;  see also People v. Hansen, 95 N.Y.2d 227, 715 N.Y.S.2d 369, 738 N.E.2d 773;  People v. Fernandez, 67 N.Y.2d 686, 499 N.Y.S.2d 919, 490 N.E.2d 838).
