Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York July 11, 2012 (People v. Rivera)

The defendant’s valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his claim that his sentence was excessive (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 258 [2006]). Mastro, A.P.J., Angiolillo, Belen and Austin, JJ., concur.
