[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent,

v

Nasier Codett, appellant.

Alex Smith, Middletown, NY, for appellant.

David M. Hoovler, District Attorney, Goshen, NY (Christopher Kelly of counsel), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Orange County (Hyun Chin Kim, J.), rendered February 26, 2025, convicting him of robbery in the first 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 validly waived his right to appeal (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256; People v Archer, 239 AD3d 763, 764). His valid appeal waiver precludes appellate review of his contentions that the sentence imposed was excessive and constituted cruel and unusual punishment (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d at 256; People v Foy, 238 AD3d 785).

DILLON, J.P., DOWLING, LANDICINO and MCCORMACK, JJ., concur.
