[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent,
vRafael Carrera, appellant.

John R. Lewis, Sleepy Hollow, NY, for appellant.
David M. Hoovler, District Attorney, Middletown, NY (Edward D. Saslaw of counsel), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Orange County (William L. DeProspo, J.), rendered May 28, 2019, convicting him of reckless endangerment in the first degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, he knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal (see People v Sanders, 25 NY3d 337). The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive (see People v Thomas, 34 NY3d 545, 564; People v Bradshaw, 18 NY3d 257, 264-267; People v Smith, 186 AD3d 872).
RIVERA, J.P., MALTESE, BARROS, BRATHWAITE NELSON and IANNACCI, JJ., concur.
