[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent,

v

Dechean . Rankine, appellant.

Philip H. Schnabel, Chester, NY, for appellant.

David M. Hoovler, District Attorney, Middletown, NY (Elizabeth L. Schulz of counsel), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Orange County (Freehill, J.), rendered June 6, 2016, convicting him of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal (see People v Sanders, 25 NY3d 337, 341-342; People v Ramos, 7 NY3d 737; People v Muniz, 91 NY2d 570, 575) precludes appellate review of his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive (see People v Seaberg, 74 NY2d 1, 9).

RIVERA, J.P., CHAMBERS, MALTESE and BARROS, JJ., concur.
