 (Ind. No. 5022/15)

[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent,
vAustin Jones, appellant.

Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (Hannah Zhao of counsel), for appellant.
Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove and Rhea A. Grob of counsel; Robert Ho on the memorandum), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Betty J. Williams, J.), imposed March 30, 2016, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.
ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.
The defendant's waiver of his right to appeal was invalid (see People v Bradshaw, 18 NY3d 257, 265; People v Rennick, 123 AD3d 1146; People v Reyes, 121 AD3d 820; People v Coleman, 116 AD3d 708) 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).
SCHEINKMAN, P.J., RIVERA, AUSTIN, COHEN and BARROS, JJ., concur.
