[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent,
vSteve Sandoval, appellant.


Robert C. Mitchell, Riverhead, N.Y. (Alfred J. Cicale of counsel), for appellant.
Thomas J. Spota, District Attorney, Riverhead, N.Y. (Grazia DiVincenzo of counsel), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Cohen, J.), imposed on March 31, 2011, 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; People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256-257; People v Brown, 122 AD3d 133) 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).
ENG, P.J., MASTRO, HALL, MILLER and LASALLE, JJ., concur.
