[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent, 
vTerrell Herring, appellant.


Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York, NY, for appellant.
Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, NY (John M. Castellano, Johnnette Traill, and Merri Turk Lasky of counsel; Marina Kosmetatos 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 (Chin-Brandt, J.), imposed June 23, 2015, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence is excessive.
ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.
The defendant's purported waiver of his right to appeal was invalid (see People v Bradshaw, 18 NY3d 257, 267; People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 257; People v Brown, 122 AD3d 133, 145), and, thus, does not preclude review of his excessive sentence claim.  However, the sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).
ENG, P.J., AUSTIN, ROMAN, HINDS-RADIX and DUFFY, JJ., concur.
