The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Jose Rodriguez, Appellant.
[911 NYS2d 675]

—Appeal by the de

p. 1205
fendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Ort, J.), rendered September 20, 2005, convicting him of burglary in the first degree (three counts), robbery in the first degree (two counts), criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, and assault in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The record establishes that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248 , 256 [2006]; People v Seaberg, 74 NY2d 1 , 11 [1989]). There was no effort to conceal error, and the defendant was made fully aware of any appealable issues (see People v Holman, 89 NY2d 876 , 878 [1996]). Accordingly, the defendant’s waiver of the right to appeal, made as part of his sentencing agreement after a jury verdict of guilty, was valid and precludes review of the issues raised on appeal (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248 [2006]; People v Holman, 89 NY2d 876 [1996]; People v Seaberg, 74 NY2d 1 [1989]). Skelos, J.P., Balkin, Eng and Austin, JJ., concur.
