DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Suffolk County (Mark D. Cohen, J.), rendered March 11, 2016, convicting him of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree (two counts), criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree (two counts), criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree (two counts), criminally using drug paraphernalia in the second degree, and endangering the welfare of a child, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's challenge to the validity of his plea based on the alleged ineffective assistance of counsel is without merit.
The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive (see People v. Lopez, 6 N.Y.3d 248, 256, 811 N.Y.S.2d 623, 844 N.E.2d 1145 ; People v. Shand, 110 A.D.3d 745, 972 N.Y.S.2d 103 ).
RIVERA, J.P., CHAMBERS, BARROS and BRATHWAITE NELSON, JJ., concur.
