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

v

Noah M. Stark-Morris, appellant. (Ind. Nos. 70557/23, 70236/24)


Matthew Christiana, Brooklyn, NY, for appellant.

David M. Hoovler, District Attorney, Goshen, NY (Cynthia Dolan of counsel), for respondent.



DECISION & ORDER

Appeals by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from two sentences of the County Court, Orange County (Hyun Chin Kim, J.), both imposed August 6, 2024, as amended August 8, 2024, upon his pleas of guilty, on the ground that the sentences were excessive.

ORDERED that the sentences, as amended, are affirmed.

The record demonstrates that the defendant 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 contention that the sentences imposed were excessive (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d at 255).

CONNOLLY, J.P., MILLER, WARHIT, VENTURA and QUIRK, JJ., concur.
