Andujar, appellant.</p> </div> <p>Supreme Court of the State of New York, Appellate Division, Second Judicial Department</p> <p>Decided on April 1, 2026</p> <p>2021-05208, (Ind. No. 57/20)</p> <p>Colleen D. Duffy, J.P.</p> <p>Paul Wooten</p> <p>Janice A. Taylor</p> <p>Phillip Hom, JJ.</p> <div> <p>Gary E. Eisenberg, New City, NY, for appellant.</p> <p>Anthony P. Parisi, District Attorney, Poughkeepsie, NY (Anna K. Diehn of counsel), for respondent.</p> </div> <span>[*1]</span> <p>DECISION &amp; ORDER</p> <p>Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Dutchess County (Jessica Segal, J.), rendered July 15, 2021, convicting him of predatory sexual assault against a child, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.</p> <p>ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.</p> <p>The defendant was convicted, upon his plea of guilty, of predatory sexual assault against a child (Penal Law § 130.96).</p> <p>The record demonstrates that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal (<i>see People v Bolton</i>, 235 AD3d 995; <i>People v Young</i>, 225 AD3d 903). Appellate review of the defendant's contentions regarding the factual sufficiency of the indictment, which are nonjurisdictional, was forfeited by his plea of guilty and, in any event, is foreclosed by his valid waiver of his right to appeal (<i>see</i> <i>People v Griffin</i>, 173 AD3d 1203, 1205).</p> <p>The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his</p> <p>contention that the sentence imposed was excessive (<i>see</i> <i>People v Lopez</i>, 6 NY3d 248, 256).</p> <p>DUFFY, J.P., WOOTEN, TAYLOR and HOM, JJ., concur.</p> <p>ENTER:</p> <p>Darrell M.
