Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York February 7, 2012 (People v. Johnson)

Under the particular circumstances of this case, the defendant’s waiver of the right to appeal does not foreclose his right to challenge the sentence ultimately imposed (see People v Banchs, 22 AD3d 595 [2005]; People v Eldridge, 8 AD3d 294, 295 [2004]). Nevertheless, the sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]). Mastro, A.PJ., Dillon, Eng, Lott and Miller, JJ.
