    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Christopher Rivera, Appellant.
    [947 NYS2d 897]
   The defendant’s valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his claim that his sentence was excessive (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 258 [2006]). Mastro, A.P.J., Angiolillo, Belen and Austin, JJ., concur.
