DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (William Miller, J.), imposed October 6, 2016, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.
ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.
The defendant's knowing waiver of his right to appeal encompassed the right to seek a reduction in the sentence on the ground that the sentence imposed was harsh and excessive (see People v. Lopez, 6 N.Y.3d 248, 256, 811 N.Y.S.2d 623, 844 N.E.2d 1145 ; People v. Eric P., 135 A.D.3d 882, 883, 23 N.Y.S.3d 379 ). The waiver precludes review of the defendant's contention that the sentence imposed was excessive.
BALKIN, J.P., CHAMBERS, COHEN and BARROS, JJ., concur.
