Citation52 N.Y.S.3d 654 (Mem),150 A.D.3d 1148
Parties The PEOPLE, etc., respondent, v. Terrell HERRING, appellant.
CourtNew York Supreme Court — Appellate Division

Lynn W.L. Fahey, New York, NY, for appellant.

Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, NY (John M. Castellano, Johnnette Traill, and Merri Turk Lasky of counsel; Marina Kosmetatos on the memorandum), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Chin–Brandt, J.), imposed June 23, 2015, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence is excessive.

ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.

The defendant's purported waiver of his right to appeal was invalid (see People v. Bradshaw, 18 N.Y.3d 257, 267, 938 N.Y.S.2d 254, 961 N.E.2d 645 ; People v. Lopez,

6 N.Y.3d 248, 257, 811 N.Y.S.2d 623, 844 N.E.2d 1145 ; People v. Brown, 122 A.D.3d 133, 145, 992 N.Y.S.2d 297 ), and, thus, does not preclude review of his excessive sentence claim. However, the sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80, 455 N.Y.S.2d 675 ).

ENG, P.J., AUSTIN, ROMAN, HINDS–RADIX and DUFFY, JJ., concur.
