vJuan Zaruma, appellant.
Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York, N.Y., for appellant.
Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano, Jennifer Hagan, and Christine Disalvo of counsel), for respondent.
DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Zayas, J.), imposed September 14, 2012, 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 and, therefore, does not preclude appellate review of his excessive sentence claim (see People v Bradshaw, 18 NY3d 257, 265). However, the sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).
ENG, P.J., BALKIN, DICKERSON, CHAMBERS and HINDS-RADIX, JJ., concur.
