Opinion Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Ethan Greenberg, J. at plea; Raymond L. Bruce, J. at sentencing), rendered July 17, 2014, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, and sentencing him to an aggregate term of 1 1/2 years of imprisonment, to be followed by two years of post-release supervision, unanimously affirmed.
Although we do not find that defendant made a valid waiver of the right to appeal, we perceive no basis for reducing the sentence.
MAZZARELLI, J.P., ANDRIAS, SAXE, MOSKOWITZ, JJ., concur.
