People v Rafael D'Avila

People v D'Avila 2005 NY Slip Op 06609 [21 AD3d 905] September 6, 2005 Appellate Division, Second Department Published by New York State Law Reporting Bureau pursuant to Judiciary Law § 431. As corrected through Wednesday, November 16, 2005

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
v
Rafael D'Avila, Appellant.

—[*1]Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Walsh, J.), rendered August 3, 2004, convicting him of burglary in the third degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's purported waiver of the right to appeal was not valid because it was based on an incorrect statement of law (cf. People v Brown, 13 AD3d 548, 549 [2004]). However, the defendant failed to preserve for appellate review his contention that the sentencing court failed to exercise any discretion in imposing sentence (see CPL 470.05 [2]).

The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]). Prudenti, P.J., Schmidt, Santucci, Luciano and Spolzino, JJ., concur.
