Opinion
April 11, 1996
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Harold Rothwax, J.).
We find that defendant's waiver of his right to appeal the sentence, which was in accordance with his plea bargain, was knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily made, and that the issue he now raises as to whether his sentence was excessive is therefore nonreviewable ( People v. Callahan, 80 N.Y.2d 273, 280, 285). In any event, if we were to review, we would find that the sentence reflects the gravity of the crimes committed and defendant's violent history, and was otherwise a proper exercise of discretion.
