Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Steven Stasinger, J.), rendered April 5, 2019, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of manslaughter in the first degree, and sentencing him to a term of 15 years, unanimously modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, to the extent of reducing the prison component of the sentence to a term of 11 years, and otherwise affirmed.
We find the sentence excessive to the extent indicated. The record does not establish a valid appeal waiver.
