| The People of the State of New York,Respondent, v Mohammed Monsuri, Appellant. |
—[*1] Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove and Terry-AnnLlewellyn of counsel; Steven Mizrahi on the memorandum), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Mangano,Jr., J.), rendered April 12, 2007, convicting him of attempted murder in the second degree, uponhis plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the People's contention, the defendant's waiver of his right to appeal was notvalid (see People v Bradshaw, 76AD3d 566, 569 [2010], lv granted 15 NY3d 896 [2010]), and therefore the waivercannot bar review of the defendant's claims.
Insofar as the record permits review of the defendant's claim that his attorney was ineffective,we reject that claim. Counsel provided the defendant with effective representation (seeStrickland v Washington, 466 US 668, 694 [1984]; People v Baldi, 54 NY2d 137,147 [1981]).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]).
The defendant's remaining contention is without merit. Mastro, J.P., Dillon, Balkin andMiller, JJ., concur.
