WAIVER OF APPEAL INVALID, MATTER SENT BACK FOR YOUTHFUL OFFENDER DETERMINATION (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department determined the waiver of appeal was invalid and sent the matter back for a determination of youthful offender status:

Supreme Court did not elicit the waiver until after defendant had pleaded guilty and, in any event, “the record fails to establish that [the court] engaged him in an adequate colloquy to ensure that the waiver was a knowing and voluntary choice” … . Furthermore, “neither the written waiver of the right to appeal in the record nor the court’s brief mention of that waiver during the plea proceeding distinguished the waiver of the right to appeal from those rights automatically forfeited upon a plea of guilty” … .

We further agree with defendant that the court erred in failing to determine whether he should be afforded youthful offender status … . As the People correctly concede, defendant is an eligible youth, and the sentencing court must make “a youthful offender determination in every case where the defendant is eligible, even where the defendant fails to request it” … . People v Willis, 2018 NY Slip Op 03291, Fourth Dept 5-4-18
