Opinion
2005-02382.
June 13, 2006.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Orange County (DeRosa, J.), rendered March 8, 2005, convicting him of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
Greg T. Rinckey, Albany, N.Y., for appellant.
Francis D. Phillips II, District Attorney, Goshen, N.Y. (David R. Huey of counsel), for respondent.
Before: Florio, J.P., Santucci, Mastro, Rivera and Covello, JJ., concur.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes review of his contention that his sentence was excessive ( see People v. Lopez, 6 NY3d 248; People v. Lococo, 92 NY2d 825, 827; People v. Hidalgo, 91 NY2d 733, 737; People v. Ackerman, 11 AD3d 473). The defendant's remaining contention is unpreserved for appellate review and, in any event, is without merit ( see Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1192; § 1193 [1] [c] [i]).
