[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent,
vGregory A. Sneed, appellant. 

Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (William Kastin of counsel), for appellant.
Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, NY (John M. Castellano, Johnnette M. Traill, and Merri Turk Lasky of counsel; Cameron Kummer on the memorandum), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER
Appeals by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from two sentences of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Suzanne J. Melendez, J.), both imposed March 8, 2016, upon his pleas of guilty, on the ground that the sentences were excessive.
ORDERED that the sentences are affirmed.
Under the circumstances presented, the defendant did not knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waive his right to appeal (see People v Kupershmidt, 152 AD3d 797, 798; People v Black, 144 AD3d 935, 936).
Nevertheless, contrary to the defendant's contention, the sentences imposed were not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).
SCHEINKMAN, P.J., CHAMBERS, SGROI, MALTESE and CONNOLLY, JJ., concur.
