Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Parker, J.), imposed October 30, 2009.

ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.

The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes review of his claim that he should have been sentenced as a youthful offender (see People v. Hidalgo, 91 N.Y.2d 733, 735;  People v. Allen, 82 N.Y.2d 731, 763;  see also People v. Valentin, 15 AD3d 424, 424;  People v. Friedlander, 11 AD3d 556, 556;  People v. Hubbard, 288 A.D.2d 490, 490;  cf.  People v. Johnson, 14 NY3d 483, 486).
