v
Elizec Ocasio, appellant. (S.C.I. No. 70016/24)
John R. Lewis, Sleepy Hollow, NY, for appellant.
David M. Hoovler, District Attorney, Goshen, NY (Cynthia Dolan and Andrew R. Kass of counsel), for respondent.
DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the County Court, Orange County (Victoria B. Campbell, J.), imposed April 24, 2024, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.
ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the record demonstrates that he knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal (see People v Thomas, 34 NY3d 545; People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248). The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d at 255-256).
CONNOLLY, J.P., WOOTEN, FORD, TAYLOR and MCCORMACK, JJ., concur.
ENTER:Darrell M. Joseph
Clerk of the Court
