[*1]
 The People of the State of New York,Respondent,
v
Luis Aragon, Appellant.

Seymour W. James, Jr., New York, N.Y. (Eve Kessler of counsel), for appellant.

Kenneth P. Thompson, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Jobloveand Victor Barall of counsel; Robert Ho on the memorandum), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the SupremeCourt, Kings County (Cyrulnik, J.), imposed May 21, 2012, upon his plea of guilty, onthe ground that the sentence was excessive.

Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention, he knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligentlywaived his right to appeal (seePeople v Ramos, 7 NY3d 737, 738 [2006]). The defendant's valid waiver of hisright to appeal precludes appellate review of his contention that the sentence imposedwas excessive (see People vBradshaw, 18 NY3d 257, 264-267 [2011]; People v Ramos, 7 NY3d at738; People v Lopez, 6NY3d 248, 255 [2006]; People v Hidalgo, 91 NY2d 733, 735 [1998]; People v Arteev, 120 AD3d1255 [2014]). Eng, P.J., Dillon, Sgroi and Maltese, JJ., concur.
