We affirm in each appeal. As defendant contends and the People correctly concede in each appeal, defendant did not validly waive his right to appeal (seePeople v. Thomas , 34 N.Y.3d 545, 565-566, 122 N.Y.S.3d 226, 144 N.E.3d 970 [2019], cert denied ––– U.S. ––––, 140 S.Ct. 2634, 206 L.Ed.2d 512 [2020] ; People v. Cole , 201 A.D.3d 1360, 1360-1361, 158 N.Y.S.3d 679 [4th Dept. 2022] ; People v. Porterfield , 192 A.D.3d 1662, 1662, 141 N.Y.S.3d 390 [4th Dept. 2021], lv denied 37 N.Y.3d 959, 147 N.Y.S.3d 512, 170 N.E.3d 386 [2021] ). Nevertheless, we conclude that the sentence in each appeal is not unduly harsh or severe.
