October 3, 2018

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Steven Martinez, Appellant.

Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (Joshua M. Levine of counsel), for appellant.

Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove and Solomon Neubort of counsel; Marielle Burnett on the memorandum), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Joseph E. Gubbay, J.), imposed June 25, 2015, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.

Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.

The defendant’s valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive ( see People v Bryant , 28 NY3d 1094 , 1095-1096 [2016]; People v Sanders , 25 NY3d 337 , 339-342 [2015]). Scheinkman, P.J., Roman, Cohen, Duffy and LaSalle, JJ., concur..
