DECISION & ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The record demonstrates that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal (see People v. Bryant, 28 N.Y.3d 1094, 45 N.Y.S.3d 335, 68 N.E.3d 60 ; People v. Sanders, 25 N.Y.3d 337, 339–342, 12 N.Y.S.3d 593, 34 N.E.3d 344 ; People v. Batista, 167 A.D.3d 69, 75, 86 N.Y.S.3d 492 ). The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive (see People v. Bradshaw, 18 N.Y.3d 257, 265, 938 N.Y.S.2d 254, 961 N.E.2d 645 ; People v. Lopez, 6 N.Y.3d 248, 255–256, 811 N.Y.S.2d 623, 844 N.E.2d 1145 ).
The defendant's contentions concerning the validity of one of the six orders of protection issued against him at the time of sentencing survives his appeal waiver (see People v. Seay, 172 A.D.3d 756, 757, 97 N.Y.S.3d 501 ; People v. Rodriguez, 157 A.D.3d 971, 971, 67 N.Y.S.3d 485 ; People v. Bernardini, 142 A.D.3d 671, 671, 36 N.Y.S.3d 827 ). However, the defendant's contentions regarding that order of protection are unpreserved for appellate review (see People v. Nieves, 2 N.Y.3d 310, 315, 778 N.Y.S.2d 751, 811 N.E.2d 13 ; People v. Carryl, 169 A.D.3d 818, 820, 93 N.Y.S.3d 703 ), and we decline to review them in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction. "[T]he better practice—and best use of judicial resources—is for a defendant seeking adjustment of [final orders of protection] to request relief from the issuing court in the first instance, resorting to the appellate courts only if...
