People v. Jackson

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York

Decided April 10, 2012Published

1Opinion of the Court

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Kron, J.), imposed June 28, 2010, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.

Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.

*908Contrary to the People’s contention, the defendant did not validly waive his right to appeal (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256 [2006]; People v Rosato, 37 AD3d 741 [2007]). However, the sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]). Mastro, A.P.J., Florio, Balkin and Chambers, JJ., concur.
