vMatthew Robinson, also known as Matt Milly, also known as Millz, appellant.


Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (Sean H. Murray of counsel), for appellant.
Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, NY (John M. Castellano, Johnnette Traill, and Anastasia Spanakos of counsel; Eleanor Reilly 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 (Barry A. Schwartz, J.), imposed February 16, 2017, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.
ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, his waiver of the right to appeal was knowing, voluntary, and intelligent (see People v Sanders, 25 NY3d 337, 341; People v Espejo, 145 AD3d 1031). 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 Palladino, 140 AD3d 1194, 1195; People v Magnotta, 137 AD3d 1303, 1303).
RIVERA, J.P., SGROI, HINDS-RADIX and CHRISTOPHER, JJ., concur.

Aprilanne Agostino
Clerk of the Court
