v
Eric Pressley, appellant.
Patricia Pazner, New York, NY (Alexa Askari of counsel), for appellant.
Michael E. McMahon, District Attorney, Staten Island, NY (James Joseph Gandia and Thomas B. Litsky 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 11, 2023, 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). 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).
BARROS, J.P., WOOTEN, WARHIT, TAYLOR and LOVE, JJ., concur.
