Opinion

majority opinion

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Gubbay, J.), imposed November 21, 2014, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.

Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.

The defendant’s purported waiver of his right to appeal was invalid (see People v Bradshaw, 18 NY3d 257, 265 [2011]; People v Rennick, 123 AD3d 1146 [2014]; People v Reyes, 121 AD3d 820 [2014]; People v Coleman, 116 AD3d 708 [2014]) 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]).
