[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent,
vPaolo Jean, appellant.


Janet E. Sabel, New York, NY (Kristina Schwarz of counsel), for appellant.
Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove and Sarah G. Pitts of counsel; Isaiah Affron on the brief), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Suzanne M. Mondo, J.), rendered July 29, 2016, convicting him of attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the record demonstrates that he knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waived the right to appeal (see People v Sanders, 25 NY3d 337, 340; People v Bradshaw, 18 NY3d 257, 264). The defendant's valid waiver of the right to appeal precludes appellate review of his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256).
DILLON, J.P., COHEN, CONNOLLY and CHRISTOPHER, JJ., concur.
