[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent,
vGeorge Bawn, appellant.


Mary Zugibe Raleigh, Warwick, NY, for appellant.
David M. Hoovler, District Attorney, Goshen, NY (William C. Ghee of counsel), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Orange County (Craig Stephen Brown, J.), rendered October 22, 2018, convicting him of murder in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The record demonstrates that the defendant knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waived his right to appeal (see People v Sanders, 25 NY3d 337; People v Batista, 167 AD3d 69, 81). 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 248, 261; People v Batista, 167 AD3d at 78).
AUSTIN, J.P., COHEN, IANNACCI and CHRISTOPHER, JJ., concur.
