People v. Ray

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Dec 8, 1997
245 A.D.2d 393 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

December 8, 1997

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Hanophy, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal from the judgment of conviction after a jury trial in exchange for a lesser sentence. The defendant was made aware of his appealable issues and was not coerced into entering the sentencing agreement. Moreover, the defendant received the benefit of his bargain. Accordingly, he cannot now challenge the alleged trial errors (see, People v. Holman, 89 N.Y.2d 876; People v. Seaberg, 74 N.Y.2d 1; People v. Bentley, 227 A.D.2d 411).

O'Brien, J. P., Ritter, Thompson and Joy, JJ., concur.
