Opinion
August 26, 1991
Appeal from the County Court, Nassau County (Mackston, J.).
Ordered that the appeal is dismissed.
The transcript of the plea proceeding reveals that the defendant knowingly and voluntarily waived his right to appeal as an essential condition of a favorable plea agreement. Accordingly, the issues sought to be raised by way of his motion to reduce his sentence and by way of his supplemental pro se brief are not properly before this court (see, People v Seaberg, 74 N.Y.2d 1; People v Wittaker, 170 A.D.2d 554; People v Johnson, 158 A.D.2d 620). Mangano, P.J., Bracken, Kooper, Balletta and Ritter, JJ., concur.
