 (Ind. No. 2849/15)

[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent,
vSheldon K. Buchanan, appellant.

Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (Hannah Zhao of counsel), for appellant.
Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, NY (John M. Castellano, Johnnette Traill, Ellen C. Abbot, and Eugene J. Dirks of counsel), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (James P. Griffin, J., at plea; Barry Kron, J., at sentencing), rendered January 30, 2017, convicting him of 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 Sanders, 25 NY3d 337, 339-342; People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256-257; cf. People v Brown, 122 AD3d 133, 145-146).
The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal forecloses appellate review of his challenge to the hearing court's suppression determination (see People v Patterson, 106 AD3d 757; People v Kidd, 100 AD3d 779; People v Holland, 44 AD3d 874; People v Brathwaite, 263 AD2d 89, 91).
DILLON, J.P., LASALLE, BARROS and CHRISTOPHER, JJ., concur.
