DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Richard L. Buchter, J.), imposed March 6, 2019, upon his plea of guilty, on the grounds that the sentence was illegal and excessive.
ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.
The sentence imposed was not illegal (see People ex rel. Johnson v. Superintendent, Adirondack Corr. Facility, 36 N.Y.3d 187, 140 N.Y.S.3d 124, 163 N.E.3d 1041 ; People ex rel. McCurdy v. Warden, Westchester County Corr. Facility, 36 N.Y.3d 251, 140 N.Y.S.3d 170, 163 N.E.3d 1087 ) or excessive (see People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80, 455 N.Y.S.2d 675 ). To the extent that the defendant challenges the validity of his plea of guilty, this contention is improperly raised on this excessive sentence appeal (see 22 NYCRR 670.11 [b]).
LASALLE, P.J., MASTRO, MILLER, DUFFY and WOOTEN, JJ., concur.
