Lynn W.L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (David P. Greenberg of counsel), for appellant. Kenneth P. Thompson, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove and Amy Appelbaum of counsel; Paige Mankin on the memorandum), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Cyrulnik, J.), imposed November 1, 2013, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.
ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.
The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive ( see People v. Lopez, 6 N.Y.3d 248, 255, 811 N.Y.S.2d 623, 844 N.E.2d 1145; People v. Aragon, 122 A.D.3d 871, 995 N.Y.S.2d 512; People v. Witherspoon, 119 A.D.3d 879, 989 N.Y.S.2d 381; People v. Cruz, 111 A.D.3d 651, 974 N.Y.S.2d 289).
