RUTH C. BALKIN SHERI S. ROMAN SYLVIA O. HINDS-RADIX VALERIE BRATHWAITE NELSON, JJ. (Ind. No. 4426/14)

Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (Leila Hull of counsel), for appellant.

Eric Gonzalez, Acting District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove and Jill Oziemblewski of counsel; Owen-Miguel Kavanagh on the memorandum), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Ferdinand, J.), imposed May 12, 2015, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.

ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.

The defendant's purported waiver of his right to appeal was invalid (see People v Maracle, 19 NY3d 925; People v Minnerly, 127 AD3d 788) and, thus, does not preclude review of his excessive sentence claim. However, the sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).

ENG, P.J., BALKIN, ROMAN, HINDS-RADIX and BRATHWAITE NELSON, JJ., concur. ENTER:
