[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent,
vNelson Jacquez, appellant.


Janet E. Sabel, New York, NY (Eve Kessler of counsel), for appellant.
Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove and Victor Barall of counsel; Robert Ho on the memorandum), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Joseph E. Gubbay, J.), imposed October 13, 2016, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.
ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.
The defendant's purported waiver of his right to appeal was invalid because, among other things, the Supreme Court's oral colloquy improperly conflated the right to appeal with the rights automatically forfeited by a plea of guilty (see People v Payne, 164 AD3d 699; People v Dylan G., 156 AD3d 901). However, the sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).
LEVENTHAL, J.P., AUSTIN, ROMAN, MALTESE and CONNOLLY, JJ., concur.

Clerk of the Court
