Versions:141 A.D.3d 551
33 N.Y.S.3d 908

Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.

The defendant‘s purported waiver of his right to appeal was invalid (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248 [2006]; People v Lazier, 122 AD3d 770, 771 [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]).
