Robert C. Mitchell, Riverhead, N.Y. (Alfred J. Cicale of counsel), for appellant. Thomas J. Spota, District Attorney, Riverhead, N.Y. (Lauren Tan of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the County Court, Suffolk County (Kahn, J.), imposed February 4, 2011, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.
ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.
The defendant's knowing, voluntary, and intelligent waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive ( see People v. Hidalgo, 91 N.Y.2d 733, 734, 675 N.Y.S.2d 327, 698 N.E.2d 46; People v. Burton, 69 A.D.3d 644, 891 N.Y.S.2d 292; cf. People v. Maracle, 19 N.Y.3d 925, 950 N.Y.S.2d 498, 973 N.E.2d 1272).
