Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (William Kastin of counsel), for appellant.

Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, NY (John M. Castellano, Johnnette Traill, and Christopher J. Blira-Koessler of counsel; Deanna Russo on the memorandum), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Ronald D. Hollie, J.), imposed February 1, 2016, 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 because the Supreme Court's oral colloquy improperly conflated the right to appeal with the rights automatically forfeited by a plea of guilty (see People v Resnick, 159 AD3d 724 [2018]; People v Wells, 135 AD3d 976 [2016]). However, the sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]). Balkin, J.P., Chambers, Roman, Maltese and Connolly, JJ., concur.
