JILL L. PAPERNO, ACTING PUBLIC DEFENDER, ROCHESTER (SHIRLEY A. GORMAN OF COUNSEL), FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.

SANDRA DOORLEY, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, ROCHESTER (SCOTT MYLES OF COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT.

Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Monroe County (Alex R. Renzi, J.), rendered November 1, 2017. The judgment convicted defendant upon a plea of guilty of criminal sexual act in the first degree (two counts).

It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.

Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him upon his plea of guilty of two counts of criminal sexual act in the first degree (Penal Law § 130.50 [4]). We agree with defendant that his waiver of the right to appeal was invalid (see People v Hughes, 199 AD3d 1332, 1333 [4th Dept 2021]; see generally People v Thomas, 34 NY3d 545, 565 [2019], cert denied — US &mdash, 140 S Ct 2634 [2020]). We nevertheless conclude that the sentence is not unduly harsh or severe.
