PEOPLE v. McCOLLUM

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's right to a review of his contentions on appeal was forfeited by his plea of guilty ( see People v Taylor, 65 NY2d 1, 5-6; People v Silent, 37 AD3d 625). Further, a defendant's waiver of the right to appeal precludes review of a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel except to the extent that the alleged ineffective assistance may have affected the voluntariness of the plea ( see People v Perez, 51 AD3d 1043; People v Dixon, 41 AD3d 861). Here, the defendant does not claim that the alleged ineffectiveness of counsel affected the voluntariness of his plea.
