| The People of the State of New York,Respondent, v Rafal M. Bogun, Appellant. |
Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (Isa Chakarian of counsel), for appellant.
Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, NY (John M. Castellano, JohnnetteTraill, and William H. Branigan of counsel; Victoria Randall on the memorandum), forrespondent.
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court,Queens County (Barry Kron, J.), imposed July 19, 2016, upon his plea of guilty, on the groundthat the sentence was excessive.
Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.
The defendant's purported waiver of his right to appeal was invalid. The Supreme Court'slimited colloquy did not ensure the defendant's understanding of the distinction between the rightto appeal and other rights automatically forfeited upon a plea of guilty (see People v Bradshaw, 18 NY3d257, 267 [2011]; People vBrown, 122 AD3d 133, 137 [2014]; People v Johnson, 109 AD3d 1004 [2013]). Thus, the purportedwaiver does not preclude review of the defendant's excessive sentence claim. However, thesentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]). Rivera,J.P., Miller, Duffy and LaSalle, JJ., concur.
