MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: On appeal from a judgment convicting him upon his plea of guilty of burglary in the third degree ( Penal Law § 140.20 ) and grand larceny in the fourth degree (§ 155.30 [5]), defendant contends that his waiver of the right to appeal is invalid and that his sentence is unduly harsh and severe. Even assuming, arguendo, that the waiver of the right to appeal is invalid, we perceive no basis in the record for us to exercise our power to modify the sentence as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice (see CPL 470.15 [6] [b] ).
