v
Stephon Green, appellant.
Patricia Pazner, New York, NY (David P. Greenberg of counsel), for appellant.
Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove and Morgan J. Dennehy of counsel; Ruth Reid 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 (Raymond L. Rodriguez, J.), imposed February 16, 2022, upon his plea of guilty, 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 Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256-257; cf. People v Risco, 165 AD3d 703, 704). The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his excessive sentence claim (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d at 261; People v Alijaj, 217 AD3d 881, 882).
BARROS, J.P., MILLER, CHRISTOPHER, WARHIT and GOLIA, JJ., concur.
