The People, etc., respondent, v. Mohammed Shoman, appellant.
Argued-May 3, 2010
DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (DiMango, J.), rendered December 19, 2007, convicting him of burglary in the second degree and petit larceny, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The record is insufficient to demonstrate that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal (see People v. DeSimone, 80 N.Y.2d 273, 283; People v. Gladden, 267 A.D.2d 400; People v. Dongo, 244 A.D.2d 353). However, since the defendant pleaded guilty with the express understanding that if he failed to complete a drug treatment program, the Supreme Court would impose the enhanced sentence of which he now complains, he has no basis to now complain that his sentence was excessive (see People v. Williams, 70 AD3d 733; People v. Billups, 63 AD3d 750; see also People v. Kazepis, 101 A.D.2d 816). In any event, under the circumstances, the sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).
FISHER, J.P., DICKERSON, ENG and BELEN, JJ., concur.
