[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent, 
vMichael Millazzo, appellant. (S.C.I. No. 2659/12) Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York, NY, for appellant.


Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, NY (John M. Castellano, Johnnette Traill, and Danielle S. Fenn of counsel; Lorrie A. Zinno on the brief), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a resentence of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Lewis, J., at plea; Chin-Brandt, J., at resentence), imposed May 20, 2015, upon remittitur from this Court for resentencing (see People v Millazzo, 127 AD3d 1237), upon his convictions of attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree (two counts), and unlawful possession of pistol ammunition, upon his plea of guilty.
ORDERED that the resentence is affirmed.
The defendant's purported waiver of his right to appeal was invalid (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 257; People v Callahan, 80 NY2d 273, 283; People v Black, 144 AD3d 935, 935-936; People v Pacheco, 138 AD3d 1035, 1036; People v Jackson, 114 AD3d 807, 808; People v Pelaez, 100 AD3d 803, 803) and, thus, does not preclude review of the defendant's claim that the resentence was excessive. However, contrary to the defendant's contention, the resentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).
MASTRO, J.P., BALKIN, SGROI and DUFFY, JJ., concur.
