v
Sheakwan Gray, appellant.
Janet E. Sabel, New York, NY (Harold V. Ferguson, Jr., of counsel), for appellant.
Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove and Solomon Neubort of counsel; Ruby D. Andrade 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 (Matthew Sciarrino, Jr., J.), imposed February 5, 2018, as amended February 20, 2018, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.
ORDERED that the sentence, as amended, is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the record of the plea proceeding demonstrates that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal (see People v Sanders, 25 NY3d 337, 340; People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256; People v High, 174 AD3d 644; People v Batista, 167 AD3d 69, 75 n 1; People v Pelaez, 100 AD3d 803). 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 Lopez, 6 NY3d at 255-256).
RIVERA, J.P., HINDS-RADIX, BRATHWAITE NELSON and IANNACCI, JJ., concur.
