THE PEOPLE, ETC., respondent, v. DAVID WHITE, appellant. (S.C.I. NO. 2715/02).

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

When the defendant failed to comply with the condition of his plea agreement that he appear on the scheduled sentencing date, the County Court was no longer bound by the original plea agreement and had the right to impose a greater sentence ( see People v. Figgins, 87 N.Y.2d 840; People v. Delatorre, 306 A.D.2d 419, lv denied 100 N.Y.2d 619). Moreover, as the defendant was aware that he faced an enhanced sentence if he failed to comply with the plea agreement, the enhanced sentence was appropriate ( see People v. Delatorre, supra at 420; People v. Walters, 273 A.D.2d 418). A general waiver of the right to appeal, which is knowing, voluntary, and intelligent, encompasses the claim that the term of imprisonment imposed under an enhanced sentence is harsh and excessive where, as here, the defendant was informed that a maximum sentence could be imposed if he failed to comply with the conditions of the plea agreement ( see People v. Ortiz, 295 A.D.2d 449; People v. Miles, 268 A.D.2d 489).

RITTER, J.P., S. MILLER, ADAMS and COZIER, JJ., concur.
