Appellate Division, Second Department

63—The People of the State of New York,Respondent,
v
Roy Burvick, Appellant.

[*1]A. James Bell, Brooklyn, N.Y., for appellant.

Kathleen M. Rice, District Attorney, Mineola, N.Y. (Margaret E. Mainusch and Laurie K.Gibbons of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Donnino,J.), rendered June 29, 2006, convicting him of robbery in the first degree, upon his plea of guilty,and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's waiver of his right to appeal, in connection with his plea agreement, wasintelligently, knowingly, and voluntarily made (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256-257 [2006]). Thedefendant's valid and comprehensive waiver of his right to appeal forecloses appellate review ofthe denial of that branch of his omnibus motion which was to suppress physical evidence (seePeople v Kemp, 94 NY2d 831 [1999]; People v Morales, 53 AD3d 630 [2008]; People v Cardona, 51 AD3d 941[2008]). Moreover, the defendant's valid and unrestricted waiver of the right to appeal precludesappellate review of his claim that the sentence imposed was excessive (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248,256-257 [2006]; People vTaubenkraut, 48 AD3d 598 [2008]). Skelos, J.P., Ritter, Florio and Miller, JJ., concur.
