[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent,
vZestra Hardin, appellant. (S.C.I. No. 471/18)


Janet E. Sabel, New York, NY (Simon Greenberg of counsel), for appellant.
John M. Ryan, Acting District Attorney, Kew Gardens, NY (John M. Castellano and Johnnette Traill of counsel; Deanna Russo on the memorandum), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Gia L. Morris, J.), imposed March 27, 2018, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.
ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.
The record demonstrates that the defendant knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waived his right to appeal (see People v Bryant, 28 NY3d 1094, 1095-1096; People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256-257). 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 256).
DILLON, J.P., AUSTIN, ROMAN and CHRISTOPHER, JJ., concur.

Clerk of the Court
