Opinion
April 29, 1996
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Linakis, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant pleaded guilty to a lesser crime in the indictment and agreed to the imposition of consecutive sentences as part of the negotiated plea agreement. He now contends that consecutive sentences were illegally imposed. Initially, we note that review of this issue is not precluded by the defendant's waiver of his right to appeal ( see, People v. Seaberg, 74 N.Y.2d 1, 9).
Consecutive sentences for manslaughter in the first degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree are not per se illegal ( see, People v. Ford, 86 N.Y.2d 397; People v Davis, 174 A.D.2d 369; People v. Melendez, 158 A.D.2d 720), and the plea allocution does not establish that consecutive sentences were improper under the facts of this case ( see generally, People v. Laureano, 87 N.Y.2d 640; People v. Day, 73 N.Y.2d 208; Penal Law § 70.25).
We have examined the record and find that the defendant's plea of guilty was knowingly and voluntarily entered. The factual recitation did not cast significant doubt on the defendant's guilt or otherwise call into question the voluntariness of his plea ( see, People v. Lopez, 71 N.Y.2d 662). Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed. Miller, J.P., O'Brien, Copertino and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
