Hoovler, District Attorney, Goshen, NY (Cynthia Dolan and Andrew R. Kass of counsel), for respondent. DECISION & ORDER Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Orange County (Craig Stephen Brown, J.), rendered April 11, 2024, convicting him of attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fourth degree and criminal use of drug paraphernalia in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence. ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed. The defendant's waiver of his right to appeal, the validity of which he does not challenge, precludes appellate review of his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive (see People v Doyle, 224 AD3d 773; People v Guzman, 127 AD3d 1108). GENOVESI, J.P., FORD, WAN and MCCORMACK, JJ., concur. ENTER: Darrell M. Joseph Clerk of the Court
