| The People of the State of New York,Respondent, v Wilson Bruzzo, Appellant. |
Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York, NY (David P. Greenberg of counsel), forappellant.
Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, NY (Johnnette Traill and MerriTurk Lasky of counsel; Umar Sattar on the memorandum), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the SupremeCourt, Queens County (Mullings, J.), imposed May 24, 2013, upon his plea of guilty, onthe ground that the sentence was excessive.
Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.
The defendant's purported waiver of his right to appeal was invalid (see People v Bradshaw, 18NY3d 257, 265 [2011]; People v DeSimone, 80 NY2d 273, 283 [1992]) and,thus, does not preclude review of his excessive sentence claim. However, the sentenceimposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]). Eng, P.J.,Balkin, Hall, Cohen and Maltese, JJ., concur.
