Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (Lisa Napoli of counsel), for appellant.

Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, NY (John M. Castellano, Johnnette Traill, and Roni Piplani of counsel; Kristin Rainis on the memorandum), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Richard L. Buchter, J.), imposed June 29, 2016, 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 Sanders, 25 NY3d 337; People v Bradshaw, 18 NY3d 257, 264-267; People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 255-256).
