People v. Colon

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York

Decided August 2, 2017No. 2015-09376PublishedCited by 5 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

Appeals by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from three sentences of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Murphy, J.), all imposed August 26, 2015, upon his pleas of guilty, on the ground that the sentences were excessive.

Ordered that the sentences are affirmed.

The defendant’s purported waivers of his right to appeal were invalid (see People v Bradshaw, 18 NY3d 257, 264-265 [2011]) and, thus, do not preclude review of his excessive sentence claims. However, contrary to the defendant’s contention, the sentences imposed were not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]).
