The People of the State of New York,Respondent,
v
Darnell Williams, Appellant.

[*1]Mark Diamond, New York, N.Y., for appellant.

Francis D. Phillips II, District Attorney, Goshen, N.Y. (Robert H. Middlemiss and AndrewR. Kass of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Orange County (DeRosa, J.),rendered May 12, 2008, convicting him of grand larceny in the third degree, upon his plea ofguilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contentions, the record demonstrates that his written and oralwaivers of his right to appeal were intelligently, knowingly, and voluntarily made (see generally People v Lopez, 6 NY3d248, 256 [2006]; see People vAlvarez, 57 AD3d 688 [2008]; see also People v Correa, 53 AD3d 587 [2008]; People v Whitfield, 52 AD3d 748[2008]; People v Gray, 51 AD3d945 [2008]). Consequently, the defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal foreclosesappellate review of his challenges to the procedures employed by the sentencing court in itsdetermination regarding restitution (see People v Callahan, 80 NY2d 273, 280-281[1992]; People v Alvarez, 57 AD3d at 688; People v Caba, 238 AD2d 603[1997]; see also People v Chatmon,46 AD3d 833, 833-834 [2007]). Rivera, J.P., Balkin, Leventhal and Lott, JJ., concur.
