Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Christopher Friscia, Appellant.
[966 NYS2d 867]

Opinion:
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Chun, J.), imposed March 7, 2012, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.
Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.
As the People correctly concede, the defendant's purported waiver of his right to appeal was invalid (see People v Bradshaw, 18 NY3d 257, 265 [2011]; People v DeSimone, 80 NY2d 273, 283 [1992]) 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., Angiolillo, Balkin and Hall, JJ., concur.
