    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Nestor Castro, Appellant.
    [978 NYS2d 904]
   The defendant’s knowing, voluntary, and intelligent waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive (see People v Hidalgo, 91 NY2d 733, 734 [1998]; People v Burton, 69 AD3d 644 [2010]; cf. People v Maracle, 19 NY3d 925 [2012]). Eng, P.J., Rivera, Chambers and Austin, JJ., concur.
