People v. Legnini
Decision Date | 21 April 2009 |
Docket Number | 2007-02259.,2007-02987. |
Citation | 2009 NY Slip Op 03196,876 N.Y.S.2d 873,61 A.D.3d 895 |
Parties | THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. PHILIP J. LEGNINI, Appellant. |
Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Ordered that the judgments are affirmed.
The defendant's challenge to the voluntariness of his plea of guilty under indictment No. 06-00570 on the ground that he did not understand the crime to which he was pleading is unpreserved for appellate review as he never moved to vacate his plea on that basis (see CPL 470.05 [2]; People v Clarke, 93 NY2d 904, 905 [1999]; People v Bevins, 27 AD3d 572 [2006]; People v Martin, 7 AD3d 640 [2004]). In any event, the record demonstrates that the plea of guilty was knowing, voluntary, and intelligent (see People v Fiumefreddo, 82 NY2d 536, 543 [1993]; People v Lopez, 71 NY2d 662, 666 [1988]; People v Harris, 61 NY2d 9, 17 [1983]).
The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes review of his current claim that his sentence was excessive (see People v Hidalgo, 91 NY2d 733 [1998]; People v Greene, 13 AD3d 647 [2004]).
