Lynn W.L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (Warren S. Landau of counsel), for appellant. Daniel M. Donovan, Jr., District Attorney, Staten Island, N.Y. (Morrie I. Kleinbart of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Rooney, J.), rendered November 21, 2006, convicting him of assault in the first degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's knowing, voluntary, and intelligent waiver of his right to appeal forecloses review of his claim that his sentence was excessive ( see People v. Ricketts, 109 A.D.3d 842, 971 N.Y.S.2d 58; People v. Sorino, 82 A.D.3d 911, 912, 918 N.Y.S.2d 348).
The defendant's remaining contention is not properly before this Court on this appeal. RIVERA, J.P., BALKIN, HALL and SGROI, JJ., concur.
