People v Farfan

Holding The court affirmed the conviction and sentence, holding that while the waiver of the right to appeal was invalid, there was no basis to reduce the sentence based on a mistaken impression regarding the minimum term. The defendant failed to demonstrate that he would have been permitted to plead guilty for a lower term or that his plea was involuntary.
