The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Duvall Blair, Appellant.
    [62 NYS3d 283]
   — Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Ferdinand, J.), imposed May 12, 2015, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.

Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.

The defendant’s purported waiver of his right to appeal was invalid (see People v Maracle, 19 NY3d 925 [2012]; People v Minnerly, 127 AD3d 788 [2015]) and, thus, does not preclude review of his excessive sentence claim. However, the sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]).

Eng, P.J., Balkin, Roman, Hinds-Radix and Brathwaite Nelson, JJ., concur.
