May 1, 2003.
Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Robert Straus, J.), rendered March 18, 2002, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to a term of 4½ to 9 years, unanimously affirmed.
Hae Jin Liu, for respondent.
Mark W. Zeno, for defendant-appellant.
Before: Tom, J.P., Andrias, Sullivan, Rosenberger, Friedman, JJ.
Defendant, who received the minimum sentence permitted by law, requests this Court to reduce his conviction to a lesser offense so as to permit imposition of a more lenient sentence. We conclude that defendant's comprehensive waiver of his right to appeal forecloses appellate review of such a claim ( see People v. Hidalgo, 91 N.Y.2d 733).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
