Before: Kern, J.P., Oing, Gesmer, Scarpulla, Rodriguez, JJ.
Judgments, Supreme Court, Bronx County (William I. Mogulescu, J.), rendered June 26, 2018, convicting defendant, upon his pleas of guilty, of robbery in the first and second degrees, adjudicating him a youthful offender, and sentencing him to a conditional discharge for a period of three years, unanimously affirmed.
Defendant made a valid waiver of his right to appeal on June 14, 2017 (see People v Thomas, 346 N.Y.3d 545, 559 [2019], cert denied 589 U.S. ___, 140 S.Ct. 2634 [2020]; People v Lopez, 6 N.Y.3d 248, 256 [2006]), which forecloses review of his argument that the mandatory surcharges and fees imposed at sentencing should be vacated pursuant to CPL 420.35(2-a).
