May 18, 2006.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Dora Irizarry, J., at hearing and plea; Arlene Silverman, J., at sentence), rendered September 9, 2004, convicting defendant of criminal possession 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.
Laura R. Johnson, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Adrienne Hale of counsel), for appellant.
Robert M. Morgenthau, District Attorney, New York (David M. Powers of counsel), for respondent.
Before: Tom, J.P., Saxe, Nardelli, Gonzalez and Catterson, JJ., concur.
Defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal forecloses review of his suppression claim ( see People v. Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256-257). Were we to find that defendant did not make a valid waiver, we would, in any event, reject his suppression arguments.
