[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent,
vKristopher R. Lee, appellant.


Thomas N.N. Angell, Poughkeepsie, NY (Steven Levine of counsel), for appellant.
William V. Grady, District Attorney, Poughkeepsie, NY (Kirsten A. Rappleyea of counsel), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Dutchess County (Edward T. McLoughlin, J.), rendered September 22, 2017, convicting him of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal (see People v Sanders, 25 NY3d 337, 339-342; People v Bradshaw, 18 NY3d 257, 264; People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256) precludes appellate review of his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive (see People v Seaberg, 74 NY2d 1, 9).
MASTRO, J.P., AUSTIN, COHEN and MALTESE, JJ., concur.
