Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Marc J. Whiten, J.), rendered April 21, 2015, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree and sentencing him as a second violent felony offender, to a term of 8 years, 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, 2016 WL 3082231 [1st Dept.2016] ), we perceive no basis for reducing the sentence.
