| The People of the State of New York,Respondent, v Mark F. Sanders, Appellant. |
Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (David L. Goodwin of counsel), for appellant.
Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, NY (John M. Castellano, JohnnetteTraill, and William H. Branigan of counsel; Lorrie A. Zinno on the memorandum), forrespondent.
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court,Queens County (Stephanie Zaro, J., at plea; Gia Lynne Morris, J., at sentence), imposed April 18,2017, upon his plea of guilty, on the 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, 18 NY3d257, 264 [2011]; People vLittle, 127 AD3d 1235, 1235-1236 [2015]; People v Brown, 122 AD3d 133 [2014]) and, thus, does notpreclude review of his excessive sentence claim. However, the sentence imposed was notexcessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]). Scheinkman, P.J., Roman, Cohen,Duffy and LaSalle, JJ., concur.
