People v. Holman

OPINION OF THE COURT

Memorandum.

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.

The issue here is the validity of a waiver of the right to appeal made as part of a sentencing bargain after a jury finding of guilt. A lighter sentence was openly agreed to and conditioned upon defendant not raising, on appeal, certain alleged errors that occurred at trial.

After the first trial ended in a hung jury, defendant was retried and convicted of criminal possession of stolen property in the third degree and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. He was sentenced to concurrent one-year terms in prison.
