The PEOPLE, etc., respondent,
v.
Ronnie NORFORT, appellant.

Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department, New York.

Dec. 5, 2012.

Lynn W.L. Fahey, New York, N.Y., for appellant.

Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove and Morgan J. Dennehy of counsel; Gregory Musso on the memorandum), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Mondo, J.), imposed June 29, 2011, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.

ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.

Contrary to the People's contention, the defendant did not validly waive his right to appeal ( see People v. Lopez, 6 N.Y.3d 248, 256, 811 N.Y.S.2d 623, 844 N.E.2d 1145;People v. Holmes, 95 A.D.3d 1236, 943 N.Y.S.2d 906). However, the sentence imposed was not excessive ( see People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80, 455 N.Y.S.2d 675).

MASTRO, J.P., SKELOS, LEVENTHAL, AUSTIN and COHEN, JJ., concur.
