Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Tony Valerio, Appellant.
[62 NYS3d 281]

Opinion:
— Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Chin-Brandt, J., at plea; Zaro, J., at sentence), imposed January 13, 2016, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.
Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.
The record demonstrates that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal (see People v Sanders, 25 NY3d 337, 339-342 [2015]; People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256-257 [2006]; cf. People v Brown, 122 AD3d 133, 145-146 [2014]). The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes review of his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d at 255-256).
Eng, P.J., Balkin, Roman, Hinds-Radix and Brathwaite Nelson, JJ., concur.
