 The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
v
Jaime Cintron, Appellant.

Robert S. Dean, Center for Appellate Litigation, New York (Barbara Zolot of counsel), for appellant.

Darcel D. Clark, District Attorney, Bronx (Andrew J. Zapata of counsel), for respondent.

Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Marc J. Whiten, J.), rendered April 21, 2015, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree and sentencing him as a second violent felony offender, to a term of eight years, unanimously affirmed.

Although we do not find that defendant made a valid waiver of the right to appeal (see People v Powell, 140 AD3d 401 [1st Dept 2016]), we perceive no basis for reducing the sentence. Concur—Mazzarelli, J.P., Moskowitz, Manzanet-Daniels and Gesmer, JJ.
