DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Michael D. Kitsis, J.), imposed February 10, 2022, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.

ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.

Contrary to the People's contention, the record does not demonstrate that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal, since the Supreme Court did not discuss the appeal waiver until after the defendant had already admitted his guilt as part of the plea agreement (see People v Blake, 210 A.D.3d 901; People v Diallo, 196 A.D.3d 598). Thus, the defendant's purported waiver of his right to appeal does not preclude appellate review of his excessive sentence claim.

However, the sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).

BARROS, J.P., WOOTEN, WARHIT, TAYLOR and LOVE, JJ., concur.
