Seymour W. James, Jr., New York, N.Y. (Eve Kessler of counsel), for appellant. Daniel M. Donovan, Jr., District Attorney, Staten Island, N.Y. (Paul M. Tarr of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Collini, J.), imposed June 11, 2012, 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 review of his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive ( see People v. Bradshaw, 18 N.Y.3d 257, 264–267, 938 N.Y.S.2d 254, 961 N.E.2d 645; People v. Ramos, 7 N.Y.3d 737, 738, 819 N.Y.S.2d 853, 853 N.E.2d 222; People v. Lopez, 6 N.Y.3d 248, 255, 811 N.Y.S.2d 623, 844 N.E.2d 1145; People v. Stanley, 99 A.D.3d 955, 951 N.Y.S.2d 909). ENG, P.J., MASTRO, HALL, MILLER and LaSALLE, JJ., concur.
