People v. Amorosano

2017 NY Slip Op 6288, 153 A.D.3d 849, 60 N.Y.S.3d 377
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York·Decided August 23, 2017·No. 2015-02744·Published·Cited by 1 cases

Opinion

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Dutchess County (Forman, J.), rendered March 5, 2015, convicting him of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant’s contention that counsel who represented him during the plea proceedings was ineffective for failing to move for a forfeiture hearing to contest the seizure of one of his vehicles (cf. Krimstock v Kelly, 306 F3d 40, 43 [2002]) is not properly before this Court. By pleading guilty, the defendant forfeited appellate review of any claim of ineffective assistance of counsel during the plea proceedings that does not directly involve the plea bargaining process (see People v Buggsward, 138 AD3d 881, 882 [2016]; People v Donovan, 133 AD3d 615 [2015]; People v Moshier, 110 AD3d 832, 833 [2013]; People v *850 Silent, 37 AD3d 625, 625 [2007]).

Rivera, J.P., Hall, Barros and Brathwaite Nelson, JJ., concur.
