People v. Cruz

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Jan 24, 1995
211 A.D.2d 537 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

January 24, 1995

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Gerald Scheindlin, J.).


After consulting with his counsel, defendant accepted the plea offer, and received the agreed upon sentence of a term of 2 to 4 years, which defendant concedes is a legal sentence to be imposed upon a second felony offender, convicted of the instant crime. Although as part of the plea agreement, defendant waived his right to appeal from the judgment, he now contends that the sentence should be vacated and the matter remanded for resentence, since there may have been a misunderstanding on the part of the trial court, as well of the parties, as to the minimum sentence which could be imposed, as a result of alleged confusion as to whether defendant was a second felony offender or a second violent felony offender. Since we find that, after a thorough inquiry by the trial court, the defendant voluntarily, knowingly and intelligently waived his right to appeal, there are no reviewable issues presented here, and, accordingly, we affirm (People v. Callahan, 80 N.Y.2d 273, 285).
