Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Jonathon Krois of counsel), for respondent.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (James M. Burke, J. at motion; Roger S.
Hayes, J. at plea and sentencing), rendered July 28, 2015, convicting defendant of criminal
possession of a controlled substance in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon in

Defendant made a valid waiver of his right to appeal, which forecloses his suppression claims. The court's oral colloquy with defendant, supplemented by a detailed written waiver, satisfied the requirements for a valid waiver (see People v Bryant, 28 NY3d 1094 [2016]). In particular, the court made it clear to defendant that he was waiving appellate review of the legality of the search conducted by the police, which is the only issue he now seeks to raise on appeal.
Regardless of whether defendant made a valid waiver of his right to appeal, we reject his challenges to the search warrant. Concur—Friedman, J.P., Kapnick, Kahn, Oing, JJ.
