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

v

Anthony McCorkle, appellant.

Patricia Pazner, New York, NY (James A. Tomberlin of counsel), for appellant.

Michael E. McMahon, District Attorney, Staten Island, NY (Thomas B. Litsky, Timothy Pezzoli, and James Joseph Gandia of counsel), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Lisa Grey, J.), imposed January 9, 2023, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.

ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.

The record demonstrates that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256). The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive (see id. at 255-256; People v Lowe, 216 AD3d 670, 671).

BRATHWAITE NELSON, J.P., WOOTEN, VOUTSINAS and LOVE, JJ., concur.
