| The People of the State of New York,Respondent, v William Anderson, Appellant. |
Jenay Nurse Guilford, Center for Appellate Litigation, New York (Abigail Everett ofcounsel), for appellant.
Darcel D. Clark, District Attorney, Bronx (Noah J. Sexton of counsel), forrespondent.
Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Marsha D. Michael, J.), rendered March15, 2023, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of attempted strangulation in thesecond degree, and sentencing him to five years of probation, unanimously affirmed.
Defendant made a valid waiver of his right to appeal (see People v Thomas, 34 NY3d545 [2019], cert denied 589 US &mdash, 140 S Ct 2634 [2020]), whichforecloses review of his excessive sentence claim (People v Jackson, 225 AD3d 547, 548 [1st Dept 2024],lv denied 41 NY3d 1002 [2024]). In any event, we perceive no basis for reducingthe sentence.
Defendant's challenge to the condition of his probation requiring that he consent tosearches of his person, vehicle, and place of abode by a probation officer for weaponsand other contraband survives the appeal waiver (see People v Arias, 210 AD3d 593, 594 [1st Dept 2022],lv denied 39 NY3d 1109 [2023]). Nevertheless, given that defendant used aweapon during the underlying offense, along with his history of violence and use ofweapons, the imposition of the condition was "reasonably necessary to [e]nsure that thedefendant will lead a law-abiding life or to assist him to do so" (Penal Law§ 65.10 [1]; see People v Hale, 93 NY2d 454, 461 [1999]). "Thatthe court did not orally pronounce the consent-search condition at plea or sentencing didnot render it invalid since he was provided a written copy of all conditions of probation"(People v Scott, 226 AD3d443, 444 [1st Dept 2024], lv denied 42 NY3d 930 [2024]; see CPL410.10 [1]).
We have considered defendant's remaining contentions and find them unavailing.Concur—Manzanet-Daniels, J.P., Webber, Moulton, Rodriguez, Rosado, JJ.
