v
Joshua Cheristin, appellant.
Patricia Pazner, New York, NY (Sarah B. Cohen of counsel), for appellant.
Melinda Katz, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, NY (Johnnette Traill, Danielle M. O'Boyle, and Maryam Sheikh of counsel), for respondent.
DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Dineen Riviezzo, J.), rendered October 20, 2022, convicting him of attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the record demonstrates that he knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal (see People v Thomas, 34 NY3d 545; People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248). The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his challenge to the Supreme Court's denial of that branch of his omnibus motion which was to suppress physical evidence (see People v Hightower-Castro, 219 AD3d 504, 505; People v Camacho, 179 AD3d 831, 831-832; People v Kornegay, 60 AD3d 696, 696).
BARROS, J.P., CHAMBERS, WARHIT and GOLIA, JJ., concur.
