PEOPLE v. WILLIAMS (2025)

Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department, New York.

The PEOPLE, etc., respondent, v. Tyheem WILLIAMS, appellant.

2022-09670

Decided: February 13, 2025

LARA J. GENOVESI, J.P., VALERIE BRATHWAITE NELSON, LOURDES M. VENTURA, JAMES P. MCCORMACK, JJ.

Patricia Pazner, New York, NY (Rebekah J. Pazmiño of counsel), for appellant. Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove, Julian Joiris, and Isaac Rounseville of counsel), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Raymond L. Rodriguez, J.), rendered November 7, 2022, convicting him of attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the record demonstrates that he knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal (see People v. Thomas, 34 NY3d 545, 558–564; People v. Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 255–257; People v. Williams, 180 AD3d 814, 814). The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his challenge to the Supreme court's denial of his motion to suppress physical evidence (see People v. Hightower–Castro, 219 AD3d 504, 505; People v. Camacho, 179 AD3d 831, 831–832; People v. Kornegay, 60 AD3d 696, 696).

GENOVESI, J.P., BRATHWAITE NELSON, VENTURA and MCCORMACK, JJ., concur.
