PEOPLE v. JACOBS (2025)

DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the County Court, Orange County (Craig S. Brown, J.), imposed May 31, 2022, 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, a valid waiver of the right to appeal precludes appellate review of the contention that the sentence imposed was excessive (see People v. Lopez, 6 N.Y.3d 248, 255, 811 N.Y.S.2d 623, 844 N.E.2d 1145).  Since the defendant failed to contend that the waiver of the right to appeal was invalid, appellate review of the sentence is precluded (see id.).

DUFFY, J.P., CHAMBERS, FORD, TAYLOR and MCCORMACK, JJ., concur.
