Curtis Hoyle, also known as "Green Eyes," appealed a judgment from the Dutchess County Court that convicted him of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance following a guilty plea. The Appellate Division, Second Department, affirmed the judgment, stating that Hoyle's valid waiver of his right to appeal barred any review of his argument that the sentence was excessive. The court referenced precedents, including People v Sanders and People v Seaberg, to support this conclusion. The decision was rendered by Justices Dillon, Sgroi, Hinds-Radix, Brathwaite Nelson, and Iannacci. The appeal was filed on June 20, 2018, with the opinion labeled as uncorrected and subject to revision.
