p. 1185The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Daniel D. Degroat, Appellant. [33 NYS3d 766]
— Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Orange County (DeRosa, J.), rendered June 1, 2015, convicting him of burglary in the first 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 Ramos, 7 NY3d 737 , 738 [2006]; People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248 ,
p. 1186
257 [2006]; People v Muniz, 91 NY2d 570 [1998]; People v Callahan, 80 NY2d 273 , 283 [1992]) precludes appellate review of his claims that his preplea request to relieve his assigned counsel and to substitute new counsel was improperly denied (see People v Forshey, 294 AD2d 868 [2002]; People v Green, 156 AD2d 378 [1989]), and that the sentence imposed was excessive (see People v Seaberg, 74 NY2d 1 , 11 [1989]; People v Hawthorne, 85 AD3d 819 [2011]).
Mastro, J.P., Austin, Sgroi and Maltese, JJ., concur.
