    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Ronnie Norfort, Appellant.
    [954 NYS2d 499]
   Contrary to the People’s contention, the defendant did not validly waive his right to appeal (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256 [2006]; People v Holmes, 95 AD3d 1236 [2012]). However, the sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]). Mastro, J.P., Skelos, Leventhal, Austin and Cohen, JJ., concur.
