Law Offices of Aurora Alvarez-Calderon, PLLC, New York, NY (Aurora A. Alvarez-Calderon of counsel), for appellant.

DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Kenneth C. Holder, J.), rendered November 12, 2024, convicting him of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree and conspiracy in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waived his right to appeal (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256-257). The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes review of his contentions that the Supreme Court should have granted him youthful offender treatment (see People v Franko, 98 AD3d 525, 525) and that his sentence was excessive (see People v Dancy, 156 AD3d 717, 718).
DUFFY, J.P., GENOVESI, DOWLING and MCCORMACK, JJ., concur.
