DECISION & ORDER Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Barry Kron, J.), imposed October 12, 2017, 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. 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, 255–256, 811 N.Y.S.2d 623, 844 N.E.2d 1145 ; People v. Stephensbush , 172 A.D.3d 1108, 100 N.Y.S.3d 322 [2d Dept. 2019] ).
RIVERA, J.P., HINDS–RADIX, BRATHWAITE NELSON and IANNACCI, JJ., concur.
