Decided: June 03, 2026

BETSY BARROS, J.P. VALERIE BRATHWAITE NELSON BARRY E. WARHIT LOURDES M. VENTURA SUSAN QUIRK, JJ.

Patricia Pazner, New York, N.Y. (Anna Jouravleva of counsel), for appellant. Melinda Katz, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (Johnnette Traill of counsel; Agnes T. Chang on the memorandum), for respondent.

Submitted—May 13, 2026

DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Karen Gopee, J.), imposed June 14, 2023, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the period of postrelease supervision imposed as part of the sentence was excessive.

ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.

Under the totality of the circumstances, the record demonstrates that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal (see People v. Thomas, 34 NY3d 545; People v. Lopez, 6 NY3d 248). The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his contention that the period of postrelease supervision imposed as part of the sentence was excessive (see People v. Lopez, 6 NY3d at 255–256).

BARROS, J.P., BRATHWAITE NELSON, WARHIT, VENTURA and QUIRK, JJ., concur.
