Opinion
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Pedro Dominguez, Appellant.
[61 NYS3d 913]
[MAJORITY]
— Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Chin-Brandt, J.), imposed May 20, 2015, 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 (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256 [2006]; People v Brown, 122 AD3d 133, 141 [2014]) 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 [1982]).
