DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (William M. Harrington, J.), imposed March 31, 2016, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.

ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.

Since the defendant was not informed of the maximum sentence that could be imposed if he failed to comply with the conditions of his plea agreement, his general waiver of his right to appeal, given at the time of the plea, did not encompass his claim that the enhanced sentence was excessive (see People v. Saaverda, 132 A.D.3d 701, 702, 17 N.Y.S.3d 322 ; see also People v. Maracle, 19 N.Y.3d 925, 950 N.Y.S.2d 498, 973 N.E.2d 1272 ; People v. Glickman, 158 A.D.3d 725, 68 N.Y.S.3d 755 ; People v. Yodice, 153 A.D.3d 1373, 1373–1374, 59 N.Y.S.3d 898 ; cf. People v. Perez, 140 A.D.3d 799, 800, 30 N.Y.S.3d 918 ). However, the enhanced sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80, 455 N.Y.S.2d 675 ).

LEVENTHAL, J.P., AUSTIN, COHEN, BARROS and CHRISTOPHER, JJ., concur.
