People v Hernandez, 2015 NY Slip Op 02785 [127 AD3d 785]

April 1, 2015

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Salvador Hernandez, Appellant.

Lynn W.L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (Denise A. Corsí of counsel), for appellant.

Kenneth P. Thompson, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove and Rhea A. Grob of counsel; Robert Ho on the memorandum), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Gubbay, J.), imposed July 24, 2013, 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 , 256-257 [2006]; People v Guarchaj , 122 AD3d 878 , 879 [2014]; People v Brown , 122 AD3d 133 , 138 [2014]), 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., Dillon, Leventhal, Hinds-Radix and LaSalle, JJ., concur..
