Salvatore C. Adamo, New York, N.Y., for appellant.
William V. Grady, District Attorney, Poughkeepsie, N.Y. (Kristen A. Rappleyea of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Dutchess County (Forman, J.), rendered November 25, 2014, convicting him of robbery in the third degree (three counts), upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, since his waiver of indictment satisfied all of the requirements of the New York Constitution and CPL article 195, the waiver of indictment was valid (see N.Y. Const., art. 1, § 6 ; CPL 195.10, 195.20 ; People v. Sze, 113 A.D.3d 795, 978 N.Y.S.2d 879 ; People v. Davis, 84 A.D.3d 1645, 1646, 923 N.Y.S.2d 364 ; People v. Wicks, 42 A.D.3d 585, 838 N.Y.S.2d 267 ).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80, 455 N.Y.S.2d 675 ).
The defendant's remaining contention is without merit.
