| The People of the State of New York,Respondent, v Ricardo A. Romero-Flores,Appellant. |
Robert C. Mitchell, Riverhead, N.Y. (Alfred J. Cicale of counsel), for appellant.
Thomas J. Spota, District Attorney, Riverhead, N.Y. (Marcia R. Kucera of counsel),for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the CountyCourt, Suffolk County (Cohen, J.), imposed November 26, 2012, on the ground that thesentence was excessive.
Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.
The record of the plea proceeding demonstrates that the defendant received "[an]explanation of the nature of the right to appeal and the consequences of waiving thatright" (People v Brown, 122AD3d 133, 144 [2014]; seePeople v McRae, 123 AD3d 848, 848-849 [2014]). On the record presented, weconclude that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right toappeal (see generally People vBradshaw, 18 NY3d 257, 264-267 [2011]; People v Ramos, 7 NY3d 737, 738 [2006]; People v Lopez, 6 NY3d248, 255 [2006]; People v Hidalgo, 91 NY2d 733, 735 [1998]).Accordingly, the defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes review of hiscontention that the sentence imposed was excessive (see People v Hardy, 120AD3d 1358, 1358 [2014]; People v Arteev, 120 AD3d 1255, 1255 [2014]; People v Alexander, 104 AD3d862, 862 [2013]).
