Jul 19, 1999
263 A.D.2d 513 (N.Y. App. Div. 1999)

Opinion

Submitted May 21, 1999

July 19, 1999

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Rosenzweig, J.), rendered January 30, 1997, convicting him of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Daniel Guttmann, Smithtown, N.Y., for appellant.

Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano, Nicoletta J. Caferri, and Elizabeth Brownstein-Thomas of counsel), for respondent.

CORNELIUS J. O'BRIEN, J.P., GABRIEL M. KRAUSMAN, ANITA R. FLORIO, HOWARD MILLER, JJ.


DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's waiver of the right to appeal was voluntary, knowing, and intelligent, and served to effectively waive appellate review of the specific issues which he now seeks to raise ( see, People v. Callahan, 80 N.Y.2d 273, 283; People v. Seaberg, 74 N.Y.2d 1).
