v.
Philip BLACKWOOD, appellant.
Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department, New York.
March 1, 2017.
Arza Feldman, Uniondale, NY, for appellant.
Anthony A. Scarpino, Jr., District Attorney, White Plains, NY (Hae Jin Liu and Laurie G. Sapakoff of counsel), for respondent.
WILLIAM F. MASTRO, J.P., LEONARD B. AUSTIN, ROBERT J. MILLER and JOSEPH J. MALTESE, JJ.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Westchester County (Zambelli, J.), rendered December 1, 2015, convicting him of criminal possession of weapon in the third degree and obstructing governmental administration 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 waiver of his right to appeal was valid. Although the Court of Appeals has "repeatedly observed that there is no mandatory litany that must be used in order to obtain a valid waiver of appellate rights" (People v. Johnson, 14 N.Y.3d 483, 486, 903 N.Y.S.2d 299, 929 N.E.2d 361 ), the record must demonstrate that the defendant "intentionally relinquish[ed] or abandon[ed] a known right that would otherwise survive a guilty plea" (People v. Hansen, 95 N.Y.2d 227, 230 n. 1, 715 N.Y.S.2d 369, 738 N.E.2d 773 ; see
People v. Johnson, 14 N.Y.3d at 486, 903 N.Y.S.2d 299, 929 N.E.2d 361 ). "The best way to ensure that the record reflects that the right is known and intentionally relinquished by the defendant is to fully explain to the defendant, on the record, the nature of the right to appeal and the consequences of waiving it" (People v. Brown, 122 A.D.3d 133, 142, 992 N.Y.S.2d 297 ).
Here, the record of the plea proceeding demonstrates that the defendant received an explanation of the nature of the right to appeal and the...
