DECISION & ORDER
Appeals by the defendant from two judgments of the County Court, Suffolk County (John J. Toomey, Jr., J.), both rendered June 27, 2016, convicting him of driving while intoxicated (two counts) and failing to stay in a designated lane under Indictment No. 1422–15, and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fourth degree under S.C.I. No. 564–16, upon his pleas of guilty, and imposing sentences.
ORDERED that the judgments are affirmed.
The record demonstrates that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal (see People v. Bryant, 28 N.Y.3d 1094, 45 N.Y.S.3d 335, 68 N.E.3d 60 ; People v. Sanders, 25 N.Y.3d 337, 12 N.Y.S.3d 593, 34 N.E.3d 344 ). The defendant's valid appeal waiver precludes review of his excessive sentence claims (see People v. Edwin L., 142 A.D.3d 718, 36 N.Y.S.3d 920 ; People v. Conway, 140 A.D.3d 1185, 33 N.Y.S.3d 761 ).
