COURT IMPROPERLY REQUIRED DEFENDANT TO WAIVE HIS RIGHT TO APPEAL, DEFENDANT’S PLEA WAS NOT SUBJECT TO A PLEA BARGAIN.

The Third Department noted that it was improper for County Court to require defendant to waive his right to appeal because there was no agreement associated with his guilty plea:

… [I]it was improper for County Court to require defendant to waive his right to appeal, as the record establishes that “there was no promise, plea agreement, reduced charge, or any other bargain or consideration given to . . . defendant in exchange for his plea” … . As such, defendant’s challenge to the sentence is not precluded. People v Tarver, 2017 NY Slip Op 03079, 3rd Dept 4-20-17
