People v. Burney

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Jan 16, 1997
235 A.D.2d 264 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

January 16, 1997.

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Frederic Berman, J.), rendered January 5, 1994, convicting defendant, upon her guilty plea, of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the second degree, and sentencing her to a term of 4 years to life, unanimously affirmed.

Before: Murphy, P. J., Sullivan, Rosenberger, Williams and Andrias, JJ.


Defendant's waiver of her right to appeal the suppression rulings was voluntary, knowing and intelligent, as evidenced by the fact that she conferred with her counsel on numerous occasions specifically about the waiver, greatly benefitted from the plea bargain, and clearly acknowledged her understanding that she was specifically choosing to waive her right to appeal suppression issues ( see, People v Moissett, 76 NY2d 909).
