People v. Wittaker

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Feb 11, 1991
170 A.D.2d 554 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

February 11, 1991

Appeal from the County Court, Nassau County (Mackston, J.).


Ordered that the appeals are dismissed.

The record supports the conclusion that the defendant understood the significance of his waivers of his right to appeal, and knowingly and voluntarily gave the waivers in order to obtain favorable plea agreements. At no time before the instant appeal did the defendant contest or attempt to withdraw his pleas (People v Ricciardi, 121 A.D.2d 407, 408) with the result that the waivers will be enforced (see, People v Seaberg, 74 N.Y.2d 1, 11-12).

In any event, the defendant received the sentences that he bargained for, so that he has no reason to complain that the sentences imposed were excessive (see, People v Kazepis, 101 A.D.2d 816, 817). Mangano, P.J., Kunzeman, Kooper, Sullivan and Ritter, JJ., concur.
