| The People of the State of New York,Respondent, v Jose Flores, Appellant. |
Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (Samuel R. Feldman of counsel), for appellant.
Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove and Morgan J. Dennehy ofcounsel; Marielle Burnett on the memorandum), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Matthew J.D'Emic, J.), rendered September 7, 2018, convicting him of gang assault in the first degree, uponhis plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's valid waiver of the right to appeal precludes appellate review of hiscontention that his sentence was excessive (see People v Sanders, 25 NY3d 337 [2015]; People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 255[2006]).
Although the defendant's contentions regarding an order of protection issued at the time ofsentencing survive his valid appeal waiver (see People v Nieves, 2 NY3d 310, 316 [2004]; People v Glover, 173 AD3d 1201[2019]), they are unpreserved for appellate review (see CPL 470.05 [2]; People vNieves, 2 NY3d at 316-318), and we decline to review them in the exercise of our interest ofjustice jurisdiction. Balkin, J.P., Chambers, Cohen and Connolly, JJ., concur.
