Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department

Date published: Mar 25, 1996

225 A.D.2d 806 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

639 N.Y.S.2d 959

Opinion

March 25, 1996

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (R. Goldberg, J.).

Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.

Under the circumstances of this case, the defendant's waiver of his right to appeal was ineffective ( see, People v Patterson, 211 A.D.2d 829; People v Prescott, 196 A.D.2d 599). We have examined the defendant's contention that the sentence was excessive and find it to be without merit ( see, People v Patterson, supra; People v Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). Mangano, P.J., Balletta, O'Brien, Pizzuto and Florio, JJ., concur.
