Little v. Llano County

Issue: Insufficient text to determine. (This document is a New York state criminal appeal concerning a guilty plea, waiver of appeal rights, and suppression hearing forfeiture — it bears no relationship to the labeled case *Little v. Llano County* or to First Amendment law, Section 230, or AI/ML civil liability.)

The Appellate Division, Third Department affirmed three Sullivan County convictions stemming from guilty pleas to burglary, criminal possession of a weapon, criminal sale of a controlled substance, and criminal possession of stolen property. The court found the written appeal waiver invalid because it purported to be an absolute bar to appellate review and the trial court's oral colloquy was insufficient to cure that defect. Despite the invalid waiver, the court held that defendant forfeited his suppression-based probable cause argument by pleading guilty after the suppression hearing had begun but before a ruling was issued.

Insufficient text to determine. This decision addresses New York criminal procedure — specifically the validity of appeal waivers and suppression hearing forfeiture rules — and contains no analysis relevant to platform liability, First Amendment doctrine as applied to technology or public institutions, Section 230, or AI/ML regulation.
