Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (George R. Villegas, J.), rendered November 20, 2017, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty plea, of attempted robbery in the first degree, and sentencing him to a term of four years, unanimously affirmed.
Defendant made a valid waiver of his right to appeal (see People v. Thomas, 34 N.Y.3d 545, 564, 122 N.Y.S.3d 226, 144 N.E.3d 970 [2019], cert. denied 589 U.S. ––––, 140 S.Ct. 2634, 206 L.Ed.2d 512 [2020] ), which precludes review of his argument that the surcharge and fee imposed at sentencing should be vacated pursuant to CPL 420.35(2–a) (see People v. Jones, 208 A.D.3d 1135, 1136, 174 N.Y.S.3d 573 [ 1st Dept. 2022], lv denied 39 N.Y.3d 986, 181 N.Y.S.3d 180, 201 N.E.3d 797 [2022] ; People v.
