DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Suffolk County (Anthony S. Senft, Jr., J.), rendered July 13, 2022, convicting him of attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
Based on the totality of the circumstances, including the defendants age, experience, and background, the waiver of the right to appeal in this case was knowing, voluntary, and intelligent (see People v. Thomas, 34 N.Y.3d 545, 559–563, 122 N.Y.S.3d 226, 144 N.E.3d 970; People v. Lopez, 6 N.Y.3d 248, 254–255, 811 N.Y.S.2d 623, 844 N.E.2d 1145; People v. Hill, 216 A.D.3d 817, 189 N.Y.S.3d 233).
The defendants contention that his plea was involuntary is unpreserved for appellate review as he did not move to withdraw his plea or otherwise raise the issue before the County Court (see People v. Peque, 22 N.Y.3d 168, 182, 980 N.Y.S.2d 280, 3 N.E.3d 617; People v. Lopez, 71 N.Y.2d 662, 665, 529 N.Y.S.2d 465, 525 N.E.2d 5). Contrary to the defendants contention, this is not one of the rare cases where the defendant lacked a reasonable opportunity to object to a fundamental defect in the plea which was clear on the face of the record and to which the courts attention should have been instantly drawn (see People v. Williams, 27 N.Y.3d 212, 221–222, 32 N.Y.S.3d 17, 51 N.E.3d 528; People v. Karadag, 181 A.D.3d 620, 620, 117 N.Y.S.3d 590).
The defendants valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive (see People v. Lopez, 6 N.Y.3d at 255, 811 N.Y.S.2d 623, 844 N.E.2d 1145).
