v.
Anthony CEPARANO, appellant.
Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department, New York.
June 6, 2012.
[945 N.Y.S.2d 422]
Susan M. Karalus, Williamsville, N.Y., for appellant.
Thomas J. Spota, District Attorney, Riverhead, N.Y. (Marcia R. Kucera of counsel), for respondent.
MARK C. DILLON, J.P., THOMAS A. DICKERSON, L. PRISCILLA HALL, and SANDRA L. SGROI, JJ.
[96 A.D.3d 774]Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Suffolk County (Efman, J.), rendered October 16, 2009, convicting him of manslaughter in the second degree, vehicular manslaughter in the second degree, operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs, reckless driving, failure to stay in a designated lane, and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the third degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The plea minutes demonstrate that the defendant's plea was entered knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently, and that he understood the nature of the crimes to which he was pleading [96 A.D.3d 775]guilty ( see People v. Harris, 61 N.Y.2d 9, 471 N.Y.S.2d 61, 459 N.E.2d 170). Further, the defendant's plea of guilty precludes him from challenging claimed defects in the grand jury proceedings and nonjurisdictional issues concerning alleged prosecutorial misconduct before the grand jury ( see People v. Curtis, 33 A.D.3d 721, 821 N.Y.S.2d 918;People v. Miller, 306 A.D.2d 294, 760 N.Y.S.2d 342). Also, the defendant's voluntary, knowing, and intelligent waiver of his right to appeal all aspects of his case encompassed his right to a review of his nonjurisdictional contentions pertaining to the grand jury proceedings, as well as the denial of that branch of his motion which was to suppress evidence based upon lack of probable cause ( see People v. Rodriguez, 268 A.D.2d 491, 492, 703 N.Y.S.2d 50).
To the extent that the defendant's claim of ineffective assistance of counsel does not relate to the voluntariness of the plea, the defendant's valid and unrestricted waiver of his right to appeal foreclosed appellate review of that claim ( see
People v. Sorino, 82 A.D.3d 911, 912, 918 N.Y.S.2d 348). To the extent that the defendant's claim of ineffective assistance of counsel does relate to the voluntariness of the plea, his claim is based, in part, on matter appearing on the record and, in part, on...
