DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Barry A. Schwartz, J.), imposed February 16, 2017, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.
ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.Contrary to the defendant's contention, his waiver of the right to appeal was knowing, voluntary, and intelligent (see People v. Sanders, 25 N.Y.3d 337, 341, 12 N.Y.S.3d 593, 34 N.E.3d 344 ; People v. Espejo, 145 A.D.3d 1031, 42 N.Y.S.3d 862 ). 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. Palladino, 140 A.D.3d 1194, 1195, 33 N.Y.S.3d 469 ; People v. Magnotta, 137 A.D.3d 1303, 1303, 27 N.Y.S.3d 403 ).
