People v Jeffrey, 2015 NY Slip Op 04666 [129 AD3d 745]

June 3, 2015

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Darius Jeffrey, Appellant.

Lynn W.L. Fahey, New York, N.Y., for appellant.

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

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Arriaga, J.), imposed August 1, 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 [2011]; People v Brown , 122 AD3d 133 [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., Balkin, Dickerson, Chambers and Hinds-Radix, JJ., concur..
