Seymour W. James, Jr., The Legal Aid Society, New York (Heidi Bota of counsel), for appellant.
Darcel D. Clark, District Attorney, Bronx (Dmitriy Povazhuk of counsel), for respondent.
Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Michael A. Gross, J. at plea; John Moore, J. at sentencing), rendered September 23, 2014, unanimously affirmed.
Although we do not find that defendant made a valid waiver of the right to appeal (see People v. Powell, 140 A.D.3d 401, 30 N.Y.S.3d 873 [1st Dept.2016] ), we perceive no basis for reducing the sentence.
