WILLIAM F. MASTRO SHERI S. ROMAN HECTOR D. LASALLE LINDA CHRISTOPHER, JJ. (Ind. Nos. 985/16, 1462/16)

Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (Denise A. Corsí of counsel), for appellant.

DECISION & ORDER

Appeals by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from two sentences of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Griffin, J.), both imposed October 25, 2016, upon his pleas of guilty, on the ground that the sentences were excessive.

ORDERED that the sentences are affirmed.

The defendant's purported waiver of his right to appeal was invalid (see People v Bradshaw, 18 NY3d 257, 267; People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 257; People v DeSimone, 80 NY2d 273, 283) and, thus, does not preclude review of his excessive sentence claims. However, the sentences imposed were not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).

ENG, P.J., MASTRO, ROMAN, LASALLE and CHRISTOPHER, JJ., concur. ENTER:
