WAIVER OF APPEAL WAS SUFFICIENT, APPELLATE DIVISION REVERSED.

The Court of Appeals, reversing the appellate division, determined defendant’s waiver of appeal was valid. The lower court judge first went through the rights waived by a guilty plea. Only then did the judge turn to the waiver of appeal:

Here, the court separately explained to defendant the panoply of rights normally [*3]forfeited upon a guilty plea. After ensuring that defendant understood those rights, the judge next had defendant allocute to the facts of the crimes. Only after the allocution did the court turn to the waiver of appeal. During the oral colloquy defendant stated he understood that he was “waiving [his] right to appeal” and “that this conviction, or these convictions will be final, that a court will not review what we have done here.” This verbal waiver was accompanied by a detailed written waiver which stated, among other things, that “the right to appeal is separate and distinct from the other rights automatically forfeited upon a plea of guilty.” Thus, the record sufficiently demonstrates that defendant knowingly and intelligently waived his right to appeal. People v Bryant, 2016 NY Slip Op 08488, CtApp 12-20-16
