715 N.Y.S.2d 898

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent,

v.BLAIR LEWIS, Appellant.

Decided November 27, 2000.

Friedmann, J.P., Goldstein, H. Miller and Schmidt, JJ., concur.

Ordered that the judgments are affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contentions, the record sufficiently demonstrates that he knew and understood the terms of the agreement made after the jury trial on the charges under Indictment 1890/97, and the plea of guilty under Indictment No. 1007D/98, and willingly accepted them (see, People v Kemp, 94 NY2d 831; People v Mingo, 269 AD2d 469). Therefore, the defendant's waivers of his right to appeal were voluntary, knowing, and intelligent (see, People v Muniz, 91 NY2d 570; People v Brathwaite, 263 AD2d 89). Accordingly, appellate review of the issues raised by the defendant is precluded.
