People v. Callahan green

2007Although defendant asserts that County Court should have elicited his express acknowledgment on the record that he had, in fact, signed the waiver and done so with full understanding and awareness of its contents, such an inquiry was not required in light of the execution of the waiver in open court—which would have necessarily familiarized the court with the circumstances surrounding the waiver’s execution (cf. People v Callahan, 80 NY2d at 283 ).

1998We note that the legality of a sentence is an issue that survives appeal irrespective of a defendant’s execution of a waiver of appeal (see, People v Calla han, 80 NY2d 273, 280 ).
