The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
v
Robinson Cordell, Appellant.

[*1] Robert S. Dean, Center for Appellate Litigation, New York (Elizabeth Mosher of counsel), for appellant.

Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Yuval Simchi-Levi of counsel), for respondent.

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Edward J. McLaughlin, J.), rendered February 20, 2013, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of conspiracy in the third degree and attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, and sentencing him to concurrent terms of 3½ to 7 years and five years, unanimously affirmed.

Although we do not find that defendant made a valid waiver of his right to appeal, we perceive no basis for reducing the sentence. Concur—Moskowitz, J.P., Richter, Manzanet-Daniels, Clark and Kapnick, JJ.
