Opinion
July 7, 1994
Appeal from the County Court of Albany County (Keegan, J.).
Defendant's guilty plea, which included a valid waiver of his right to appeal, precludes him from raising any issues pertaining to an alleged violation of CPL 30.30. As to his claim that he was denied his constitutional right to a speedy trial, much of the delay in bringing defendant to trial was caused by defendant's motion practice and the replacement of defense counsel, with the remainder occasioned by court and calendar congestion. In addition, defendant has not identified any specific prejudice caused by the delay. Consequently, we find upon balancing the relevant factors that defendant was not denied his constitutional right to a speedy trial in this case.
Cardona, P.J., Mikoll, Crew III, White and Casey, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
