DECISION & ORDER ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the record of the plea proceeding demonstrated that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal (see People v. Sanders, 25 N.Y.3d 337, 340, 12 N.Y.S.3d 593, 34 N.E.3d 344 ; People v. Lopez, 6 N.Y.3d 248, 256, 811 N.Y.S.2d 623, 844 N.E.2d 1145 ; People v. Batista, 167 A.D.3d 69, 75 n. 1, 86 N.Y.S.3d 492 ; People v. Pelaez, 100 A.D.3d 803, 954 N.Y.S.2d 554 ). 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 at 255, 256, 811 N.Y.S.2d 623, 844 N.E.2d 1145 ).
RIVERA, J.P., HINDS–RADIX, BRATHWAITE NELSON and IANNACCI, JJ., concur.
