    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v James Ortiz, Appellant.
    [60 NYS3d 696]
   Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (D’Emic, J.), imposed November 18, 2015, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence imposed was excessive.

Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.

The defendant’s purported waiver of his right to appeal was invalid (see People v Bradshaw, 18 NY3d 257 [2011]; People v Brown, 122 AD3d 133 [2014]), and, thus, does not preclude appellate review of his excessive sentence claim. However, the sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]).

Eng, P.J., Leventhal, Austin, Duffy and Bar-ros, JJ., concur.
