1 The People of the State of New York,Respondent,
v
Edward Vaiana, Appellant.

Neal D. Futerfas, White Plains, N.Y., for appellant.

Kathleen M. Rice, District Attorney, Mineola, N.Y. (Laurie K. Gibbons of counsel;Matthew C. Frankel on the brief ), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Nassau County(Donnino, J.), rendered August 22, 2012, convicting him of criminal contempt in the firstdegree (two counts), upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of thedenial of that branch of his omnibus motion which was to suppress statements he made tolaw enforcement officials (seePeople v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 257 [2006]; People v Seaberg, 74 NY2d1, 11 [1989]). Skelos, J.P., Chambers, Lott and Duffy, JJ., concur.
