Opinion
December 1, 1997
Appeal from the County Court, Orange County (Berry, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal his conviction and sentence as part of his negotiated plea of guilty ( see, People v. Callahan, 80 N.Y.2d 273). Thus, the defendant is precluded from claiming, inter alia, that the sentence imposed by the court was excessive ( see, People v. Callahan, supra; People v. Hayes, 229 A.D.2d 596; People v. Kazepis, 101 A.D.2d 816).
Bracken, J. P., Pizzuto, Altman, Krausman and Lerner, JJ., concur.
