| The People of the State of New York,Respondent, v Thomas Weber, Appellant. |
Laurette D. Mulry, Riverhead, NY (Alfred J. Cicale of counsel), for appellant.
Thomas J. Spota, District Attorney, Riverhead, NY (Karla Lato of counsel), forrespondent.
Eric T. Schneiderman, Attorney General, New York, NY (Alyson J. Gill and MichelleMaerov of counsel), for respondent.
Appeals by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from two sentences of the SupremeCourt, Suffolk County (Collins, J.), both imposed March 14, 2016, upon his pleas of guilty, onthe ground that the sentences were excessive.
Ordered that the sentences are affirmed.
The defendant's purported waiver of his right to appeal was invalid (see People v Bradshaw, 18 NY3d257, 264 [2011]; People vLittle, 127 AD3d 1235, 1235-1236 [2015]; People v Brown, 122 AD3d 133, 141 [2014]) and, thus, does notpreclude review of his excessive sentence claim. However, contrary to the defendant'scontention, the sentences imposed were not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80[1982]). Eng, P.J., Hall, Austin, Duffy and Connolly, JJ., concur.
