Opinion
January 8, 1996
Appeal from the County Court, Nassau County (Harrington, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is reversed, on the law and the facts, the plea is vacated, that branch of the defendant's omnibus motion which was to suppress physical evidence is granted, the indictment is dismissed, and the matter is remitted to the County Court, Nassau County, for the entry of an order in its discretion pursuant to CPL 160.50.
During the plea allocution, the defense counsel informed the court that he had discussed the waiver of the defendant's right of appeal with him. However, the record does not establish that the defendant knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived that right. Thus, the waiver is ineffective ( see, People v Santiago, 194 A.D.2d 468; see also, People v Callahan, 80 N.Y.2d 273, 283; People v Seaberg, 74 N.Y.2d 1; People v Cohen, 210 A.D.2d 343; People v McCaskell, 206 A.D.2d 547).
Furthermore, in view of our previous determination in the codefendants' appeals ( see, People v Walker, 206 A.D.2d 555; People v Isaac, 206 A.D.2d 545) that the basis of knowledge prong of the Aguilar-Spinelli test ( see, Spinelli v United States, 393 U.S. 410; Aguilar v Texas, 378 U.S. 410) was not satisfied in this case, the judgment must be reversed and the indictment must be dismissed. Copertino, J.P., Pizzuto, Santucci and Joy, JJ., concur.
