[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent,

v

Kaseam Stanley, appellant.

Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (Leila Hull of counsel), for appellant.

Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove and Diane R. Eisner of counsel; Anna Arena 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 (Betty J. William, J.), imposed October 24, 2016, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.

ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the record demonstrates that he knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal (see People v Sanders, 25 NY3d 337). The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes review of his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248).

RIVERA, J.P., SGROI, HINDS-RADIX and CHRISTOPHER, JJ., concur.
