[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent,
vDuan L. Jones, appellant.


Walter J. Storey, Goshen, NY, for appellant.
David M. Hoovler, District Attorney, Goshen, NY (William C. Ghee of counsel), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Orange County (Craig Stephen Brown, J.), rendered January 30, 2018, 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; People v Ramos, 7 NY3d 737; People v Batista, 167 AD3d 69, 73). The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his challenge to the hearing court's suppression determination (see People v Moore, 140 AD3d 1091; People v Walsh, 136 AD3d 629), as well as his contention that his sentence was excessive (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248; People v Thomas, 150 AD3d 770).
MASTRO, J.P., CHAMBERS, IANNACCI and CHRISTOPHER, JJ., concur.

Clerk of the Court
