concept of the appeal waiver in New York

2020The Supreme Court's terse colloquy failed to advise the defendant of the nature of the right to appeal, and failed to ensure that the defendant grasped the concept of the appeal waiver and the nature of the right he was forgoing ( see People v Bradshaw , 18 NY3d 257, 267 ; People v Lopez , 6 NY3d 248, 255 ; People v Fernandez , 168 AD3d 973 ; People v Vasquez , 101 AD3d 1054, 1054-1055 ).

2019The Supreme Court's terse colloquy failed to advise the defendant of the nature of the right to appeal and to ensure that the defendant grasped the concept of the appeal waiver and the nature of the right he was forgoing ( see People v Bradshaw , 18 NY3d 257, 267 ; People v Lopez , 6 NY3d 248, 255 ; People v Vasquez , 101 AD3d 1054, 1054-1055 ).

2018A waiver is ineffective where "the court mischaracterizes the nature of the right to appeal, commingles appellate rights with rights that survive a plea, and engages in a colloquy consisting of a one-word response to whether the defendant understood the conditions of the plea, or where defendant, notwithstanding a written waiver, never orally confirmed that defendant grasped the concept of the appeal waiver and the nature of the right defendant was forgoing" ( People v Leach , 26 NY3d 1154, 1155 [Rivera, J., concurring] [citations, internal quotation marks, and brackets omitted]; see People v

2017Such a waiver is ineffective where as here, defendant, notwithstanding a written waiver, “never orally confirmed that he grasped the concept of the appeal waiver and the nature of the right he was forgoing” (People v Bradshaw, 18 NY3d 257, 267 [2011]; cf. People v Ramos, 7 NY3d 737, 738 [2006]; People v Gibson, 147 AD3d 1507, 1507 [2017]).

2017Notwithstanding the defendant’s execution of the written waiver, it cannot be said that he knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waived his right to appeal (see People v Elmer, 19 NY3d 501, 510 [2012]; People v Bradshaw, 18 NY3d at 267 ; People v Brown, 122 AD3d 133, 139 [2014]).

2016Notwithstanding the defendant’s execution of the written waiver form, it cannot be said that he knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waived his right to appeal (see People v Elmer, 19 NY3d 501, 510 [2012]; People v Bradshaw, 18 NY3d at 267 ; People v Singleton, 129 AD3d 748 [2015]; People v Johnson, 113 AD3d 635 [2014]; People v Springer, 109 AD3d at 557-558 ; People v Vasquez, 101 AD3d 1054, 1055 [2012]).

2014The record does not demonstrate that the defendant “grasped the concept of the appeal waiver and the nature of the right he was forgoing” (People v Bradshaw, 18 NY3d 257, 267 [2011]; see People v Springer, 109 AD3d 557, 557 [2013] [internal quotation marks omitted]; People v Grant, 83 AD3d 862, 862-863 [2011]).

2016Therefore, a waiver is ineffective where the court mischaracterizes the nature of the right to appeal {People v Billingslea, 6 NY3d 248, 257 [2006] [decided with People v Lopez]), commingles appellate rights with rights that survive a plea {Lopez, , 6 NY3d at 256 ), and engages in a colloquy consisting of a one-word response to whether the defendant understood the conditions of the plea {id. at 257; People v Ramos, 7 NY3d 737 [2006]), or where defendant, notwithstanding a written waiver, “never orally confirmed that [defendant] grasped the concept of the appeal waiver and the nature of the rig
