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

Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (Sean H. Murray of counsel), for appellant.

Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove and Victor Barall ofcounsel; Masha Simonova on the memorandum), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court,Kings County (Matthew J. D'Emic, J.), imposed February 24, 2016, upon his plea of guilty, onthe ground that the period of postrelease supervision imposed was excessive.

Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.

The defendant's purported waiver of his right to appeal was invalid (see People v Bradshaw, 18 NY3d257, 267 [2011]; People vBrown, 122 AD3d 133, 137 [2014]; People v Johnson, 109 AD3d 1004 [2013]) and, thus, does notpreclude review of this excessive sentence claim. However, the period of postrelease supervisionimposed as part of the sentence was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80[1982]). Scheinkman, P.J., Mastro, Roman, LaSalle and Christopher, JJ., concur.
