v
Carlos Torovillota, Appellant.

Steven A. Feldman, Uniondale, N.Y., for appellant.

Thomas J. Spota, District Attorney, Riverhead, N.Y. (Marion M. Tang of counsel), forrespondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (R. Doyle,J.), rendered February 7, 2011, convicting him of offering a false instrument for filing in thesecond degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal (see People v Ramos, 7 NY3d 737[2006]; People v Lopez, 6 NY3d248 [2006]; People v Muniz, 91 NY2d 570 [1998]; People v Callahan, 80NY2d 273 [1992]). The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes review of hischallenges to the procedures the Supreme Court utilized in sentencing him (see People vCallahan, 80 NY2d at 281; People vArrington, 94 AD3d 903 [2012]; People v Collier, 71 AD3d 909, 910 [2010]; People v Redcross, 13 AD3d 559[2004]; People v Hicks, 201 AD2d 831, 832 [1994]). Rivera, J.P., Eng, Chambers, Sgroiand Miller, JJ., concur.
