People v. Knowles
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided October 29, 1998
254 A.D.2d 226; 678 N.Y.S.2d 893; 1998 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 11404
People v. Knowles

Opinion of the Court

Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Robert Cohen, J.), rendered December 11, 1996, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of manslaughter in the first degree, and sentencing him to a term of 7 to 21 years, unanimously affirmed.

Defendant’s waiver of his right to appeal encompassed the instant sentence claim and was entered into knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily (see, People v Seaberg, 74 NY2d 1). The waiver thus precludes our interest of justice review (see, People v Graham, 220 AD2d 215, lv denied 87 NY2d 1019). In any event, we perceive no abuse of sentencing discretion. Concur — Lerner, P. J., Milonas, Ellerin, Rubin and Williams, JJ.
