New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Michael Calvi, Appellant

December 18, 199689 N.Y.2d 868

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that the waiver of the right to appeal contained in the defendant's cooperation agreement was not valid because the trial court failed to review the waiver on the record. The Court modified the Appellate Division's order and remanded the case for a determination of the waiver's validity, affirming the judgment otherwise.
