The People, etc., respondent, v. Roy Bolus, appellant.

2023–02924, Ind.No. 73544 /22

Decided: July 03, 2024

VALERIE BRATHWAITE NELSON, J.P. LINDA CHRISTOPHER WILLIAM G. FORD CARL J. LANDICINO, JJ.

Patricia Pazner, New York, N.Y. (David P. Greenburg of counsel), for appellant. Melinda Katz, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (Johnnette Traill and William H. Branigan of counsel; Deanna Russo on the memorandum), for respondent.

Submitted—April 17, 2024

DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Gia L. Morris, J.), imposed February 27, 2023, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.

ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the record demonstrates that the defendant knowingly, willingly, and intelligently waived his right to appeal (see People v. Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 254). The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive (see id. at 255–256).

BRATHWAITE NELSON, J.P., CHRISTOPHER, FORD and LANDICINO, JJ., concur.
