DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Laura R. Johnson J.), imposed October 12, 2018, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the period of postrelease supervision imposed as part of the sentence was excessive. ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.
The record demonstrates that the defendant knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waived his right to appeal (see People v. Sanders, 25 N.Y.3d 337, 340, 12 N.Y.S.3d 593, 34 N.E.3d 344 ; People v. Batista, 167 A.D.3d 69, 74, 86 N.Y.S.3d 492 ). The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his contention that the period of postrelease supervision imposed as part of the sentence was excessive (see People v. Lopez, 6 N.Y.3d 248, 255–256, 811 N.Y.S.2d 623, 844 N.E.2d 1145 ; People v. Caraballo, 184 A.D.3d 851, 124 N.Y.S.3d 242 ).
