People v. Ritorto

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a resentence of the Supreme *950 Court, Kings County (Del Giudice, J.), imposed March 31, 2015, upon his plea of guilty, after remittitur from this Court (see People v Ritorto, 125 AD3d 896 [2015]), on the ground that the resentence was excessive.

Ordered that the resentence is affirmed.

The defendant’s purported waiver of his right to appeal was invalid, as the record fails to establish that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal (see People v Maracle, 19 NY3d 925, 927-928 [2012]; People v Hunter, 139 AD3d 754 [2016]; People v Barksdale, 131 AD3d 704 [2015]; People v Bostic, 125 AD3d 992 [2015]). Thus, the waiver does not preclude review of the defendant’s excessive sentence claim. However, the resentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]).
