People v. Morrison, 2006-03426.
Decision Date | 27 May 2008 |
Docket Number | 2006-03427.,2006-03426. |
Parties | THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. PATRICK MORRISON, Appellant. |
Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Ordered that the judgments are affirmed.
The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his claim that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel, except to the extent that the alleged ineffective assistance may have affected the voluntariness of his plea (see People v Charpentier, 44 AD3d 680 [2007]; People v Sanchez, 33 AD3d 633, 634 [2006]). To the extent that the defendant is claiming that the ineffective assistance of counsel rendered his plea involuntary, his contention is based on matter dehors the record, which cannot be reviewed on direct appeal (see People v Shemack, 46 AD3d 582, 583 [2007], lv denied 10 NY3d 816 [2008]; People v DeLuca, 45 AD3d 777 [2007]).
The defendant's remaining contention was waived by virtue of the valid waiver of his right to appeal (see People v Ramos, 7 NY3d 737, 738 [2006]; People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 255-256 [2006]). We note that the defendant's attempt to obtain appellate review by mischaracterizing indictment No. 741-05 as jurisdictionally defective is unavailing (see People v Stanzoni, 236 AD2d 430 [1997]).
