August 24, 2016

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Francisco Uribe, Appellant.

Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York, NY (William Kastin of counsel), for appellant.

Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, NY (John M. Castellano, Johnnette Traill, and William Branigan of counsel; Kristen Lasak on the memorandum), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Holder, J.), imposed February 5, 2013, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.

Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.

We agree with the defendant that the purported waiver of his right to appeal was invalid ( see People v Guarchaj , 122 AD3d 878 [2014]; People v Pelaez , 100 AD3d 803 [2012]).

However, the sentence imposed was not excessive ( see People v Suitte , 90 AD2d 80 [1982]). Eng, P.J., Chambers, Austin, Roman and Duffy, JJ., concur..
