Opinion
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Salvador Avelino, Appellant.
[34 NYS3d 897]
[MAJORITY]
— Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Gary, J.), imposed October 5, 2012, 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 Bradshaw, 18 NY3d 257, 265 [2011]; People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256 [2006]) 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]).
