[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent,
vDonnell Genyard, appellant.

Janet E. Sabel, New York, NY (Susan Epstein of counsel), for appellant.
John M. Ryan, Acting District Attorney, Kew Gardens, NY (John M. Castellano, Johnnette Traill, and Anastasia Spanakos of counsel; Kristin Rainis on the memorandum), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a resentence of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Evelyn L. Braun, J.), imposed September 14, 2016, on the ground that the resentence was excessive.
ORDERED that the resentence is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the resentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80), and the fact that the resentence was greater than the sentence offered during plea negotiations does not, standing alone, establish that the defendant was punished for exercising his right to trial (see People v Palmer, 169 AD3d 933, 934; People v Kocot, 167 AD3d 940, 941).
The defendant's remaining contentions, raised in his pro se supplemental brief, are not properly before this Court.
AUSTIN, J.P., LEVENTHAL, ROMAN, MALTESE and CONNOLLY, JJ., concur.
