| The People of the State of New York,Respondent, v Yotuhel Montane, Appellant. |
—[*1] Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove and LindaBreen of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County(Dwyer, J.), rendered August 23, 2011, convicting him of conspiracy in the seconddegree, 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 Bradshaw, 18NY3d 257 [2011]; People vLopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256 [2006]). As a result of the defendant's valid waiver ofhis right to appeal, appellate review of his challenge to the Supreme Court's suppressiondetermination is precluded (seePeople v Oseni, 107 AD3d 829 [2013], lv denied 21 NY3d 1044[2013]; People v Hackett,93 AD3d 807 [2012]).
Contrary to the People's contention, the defendant's plea did not constitute a waiverof his challenge to the territorial jurisdiction of the Supreme Court (see People vMcLaughlin, 80 NY2d 466, 471 [1992]; People v Casias, 303 AD2d 294[2003]). Nor is appellate review of this issue precluded by the defendant's valid waiver ofhis right to appeal (see People v Seaberg, 74 NY2d 1, 9 [1989]). Nevertheless,the defendant's contention is without merit (see CPL 20.20; People v Artis, 63 AD3d1173 [2009]; Matter of Machado v Donalty, 107 AD2d 1079 [1985]).
The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal also does not preclude appellatereview of his claim that counsel's representation was ineffective, which is directedtoward the voluntariness of the plea (see People v Gedin, 46 AD3d 701 [2007]). Nevertheless,since the colloquy during the plea demonstrates that counsel discharged his obligation toinform the defendant of the immigration consequences of pleading guilty consistent withPadilla v Kentucky (559 US 356, 369 [2010]), his contention is without merit.
The defendant's remaining contention is without merit. Rivera, J.P., Balkin,Chambers and Sgroi, JJ., concur.
