DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.
The defendant's purported waiver of his right to appeal the issue of the alleged excessiveness of his sentence was ineffective (see, People v. Rose [Simon], 236 A.D.2d 637; People v. Rolon, 220 A.D.2d 543). We have considered the defendant's contention that the sentence is excessive and find it to be without merit (see, People v. Allen, 269 A.D.2d 534; People v. Kazepis, 101 A.D.2d 816).
