Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (David P. Greenberg of counsel), for appellant.

Melinda Katz, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, NY (John M. Castellano, Johnnette Traill, and Ellen C. Abbot of counsel; Eleanor Reilly on the memorandum), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Gregory Lasak, J., at plea; Joseph A. Zayas, J., at sentence), imposed October 2, 2018, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.

Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.

The defendant's purported waiver of his right to appeal was invalid on the grounds that the Supreme Court advised the defendant that by virtue of the waiver, he was "foreclosed forever from complaining about any errors that may have occurred during the course of this proceeding" (see People v Thomas, — NY3d &mdash, 2019 NY Slip Op 08545 [2019]), and conflated the right to appeal with the rights automatically forfeited by a plea of guilty (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 257 [2006]).

However, the sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]). Dillon, J.P., Austin, Roman, Hinds-Radix and Christopher, JJ., concur.
