People v Smith, 2018 NY Slip Op 03155 [161 AD3d 782]

May 2, 2018

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Justin Smith, Appellant.

Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (Lynn W. L. Fahey of counsel), for appellant.

Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove and Seth M. Lieberman of counsel; Masha Simonova on the memorandum), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (William M. Harrington, J.), imposed July 12, 2016, 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 Bradshaw , 18 NY3d 257 , 267 [2011]; People v Lopez , 6 NY3d 248 , 255 [2006]). Scheinkman, P.J., Roman, Cohen, Duffy and LaSalle, JJ., concur..
