Annotate this Case
People v Diaz 2004 NY Slip Op 06215 [9 AD3d 470] July 26, 2004 Appellate Division, Second Department Published by New York State Law Reporting Bureau pursuant to Judiciary Law § 431. As corrected through Wednesday, September 22, 2004

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
v
Manuel Diaz, Appellant.

—[*1]Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Firetog, J.), rendered December 6, 2000, convicting him of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's challenge to the factual adequacy of his plea allocution is unpreserved for appellate review (see People v Santiago, 280 AD2d 688 [2001]; People v Hayes, 239 AD2d 358 [1997]; People v Nina, 184 AD2d 593 [1992]; People v Duff, 158 AD2d 711 [1990]). The defendant's plea of guilty and his waiver of the right to appeal, made with the advice of his counsel, were knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily entered as a part of a plea agreement (see People v Callahan, 80 NY2d 273 [1992]; People v Seaberg, 74 NY2d 1 [1989]). The waiver precludes appellate review of the defendant's remaining contentions, including those raised in his supplemental pro se brief (see People v Morrow, 3 AD3d 584 [2004]; People v Demosthene, 2 AD3d 874 [2003], lv denied 2 NY3d 761 [2004]). Smith, J.P., Goldstein, Adams and Townes, JJ., concur.
