People v. McRaePeople v. McRae
The record of the plea proceeding demonstrates that the defendant received “[an] explanation of the nature of the right to appeal and the consequences of waiving that right” (People v Brown, 122 AD3d 133, 144 [2014]). Under the circumstances presented here, which include consideration of the defendant‘s individual characteristics, we conclude that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal
