People v Avelino, 2016 NY Slip Op 05506 [141 AD3d 601]

July 13, 2016

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Salvador Avelino, Appellant.

Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York, NY (Erica Horwitz of counsel), for appellant.

Kenneth P. Thompson, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Catherine A. Dagonese of counsel), for respondent.

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]). Eng, P.J., Chambers, Austin, Roman and LaSalle, JJ., concur..
