DECISION & ORDER

Appeals by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from two sentences of the Supreme Court, Queens County (John F. Zoll, J.), both imposed December 22, 2022, upon his pleas of guilty, on the ground that the fines imposed as part of the sentences were excessive.

ORDERED that the sentences are affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the fines imposed as part of the sentences were not excessive (see People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80, 455 N.Y.S.2d 675).

IANNACCI, J.P., GENOVESI, DOWLING, WAN and MCCORMACK, JJ., concur.
