DECISION & ORDER

210 A.D.3d 792

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Robert G. Bogle, J.), rendered August 26, 2020, 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.

On December 12, 2019, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree. As part of the plea agreement, the defendant waived his right to appeal. On August 26, 2020, prior to sentencing, the defendant moved to withdraw his plea of guilty. The Supreme Court denied the motion without a hearing and imposed sentence.

The defendant's waiver of his right to appeal was knowing, intelligent, and voluntary (see People v. Thomas, 34 N.Y.3d 545, 559–560, 122 N.Y.S.3d 226, 144 N.E.3d 970 ; People v. Green, 173 A.D.3d 1202, 1202, 101 N.Y.S.3d 644 ; People v. Koch, 168 A.D.3d 977, 978, 90 N.Y.S.3d 542 ; People v. Batista, 167 A.D.3d 69, 73–74, 86 N.Y.S.3d 492 ). The Supreme Court accurately described the distinct rights forfeited by the appeal waiver (see People v. Koch, 168 A.D.3d at 978, 90 N.Y.S.3d 542 ; People v. Rodriguez, 78 A.D.3d 1204, 1205, 911 N.Y.S.2d 675 ; cf. People v. Walder, 186 A.D.3d 1272, 1272, 127 N.Y.S.3d 894 ). Furthermore, the nature

and terms of the plea agreement

and the defendant's age, experience, and background do not...
