The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
v
Nestor Castro, Appellant.

—[*1] Robert C. Mitchell, Riverhead, N.Y. (Alfred J. Cicale of counsel), for appellant.

Thomas J. Spota, District Attorney, Riverhead, N.Y. (Lauren Tan of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the County Court, Suffolk County (Kahn, J.), imposed February 4, 2011, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.

Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.

The defendant's knowing, voluntary, and intelligent waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive (see People v Hidalgo, 91 NY2d 733, 734 [1998]; People v Burton, 69 AD3d 644 [2010]; cf. People v Maracle, 19 NY3d 925 [2012]). Eng, P.J., Rivera, Chambers and Austin, JJ., concur.
