PEOPLE v. ABOUEIDA (2026)

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

The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Abdallah A. ABOUEIDA, Appellant.

CR-24-0402

Decided: April 16, 2026

Before: Aarons, J.P., Ceresia, Fisher, Powers and Ryba, JJ.

Yorden C. Huban, Public Defender, Albany (James A. Bartosik Jr. of counsel), for appellant. Lee C. Kindlon, District Attorney, Albany (Emily Schultz of counsel), for respondent.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Albany County (William Little, J.), rendered October 23, 2023, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crime of attempted burglary in the third degree.

Defendant waived indictment and agreed to plead guilty to a superior court information charging him with attempted burglary in the third degree. The plea agreement also required that defendant waive the right to appeal. County Court thereafter sentenced defendant to the agreed-upon sentence of five years of probation. Defendant appeals.

We affirm. Defendant's sole contention on appeal – that the imposed sentence is unduly harsh – is precluded by his unchallenged appeal waiver (see People v. Thompson-Webb, 241 AD3d 1675, 1675 [3d Dept 2025], lv denied 44 NY3d 1029 [2025]; People v. Brown, 197 AD3d 1440, 1440 [3d Dept 2021]).

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

Aarons, J.P., Ceresia, Fisher, Powers and Ryba, JJ., concur.
