People v. Matos

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Sep 6, 2005
21 A.D.3d 911 (N.Y. App. Div. 2005)

Opinion

2003-09338.

September 6, 2005.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Orange County (DeRosa, J.), rendered October 22, 2003, convicting him of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Del Atwell, Montauk, N.Y., for appellant.

Francis D. Phillips II, District Attorney, Goshen, N.Y. (David R. Huey of counsel), for respondent.

Before: Florio, J.P., H. Miller, Cozier and Spolzino, JJ., concur.


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant did not seek to withdraw his plea of guilty before he was sentenced so as to preserve his claim that his plea was not intelligently, voluntarily, and knowingly made ( see People v. Lopez, 71 NY2d 662; People v. Hull, 300 AD2d 411; People v. Harris, 291 AD2d 458; People v. Nieves, 289 AD2d 342). Further, the defendant's valid and unrestricted waiver of the right to appeal precludes appellate review of his claim that the sentence imposed was excessive ( see People v. Hidalgo, 91 NY2d 733; People v. Headley, 289 AD2d 341).

The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.
