Robert M. Graff, Lockport, for defendant-appellant.

Brian D. Seaman, District Attorney, Lockport (Samuel L. Malebranche of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal from a judgment of the Niagara County Court (Matthew J. Murphy, III, J.), rendered September 27, 2021. The judgment convicted defendant upon a plea of guilty of assault in the second degree (two counts), reckless endangerment in the first degree and endangering the welfare of a child (two counts).

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

Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting her upon her plea of guilty of two counts of assault in the second degree (Penal Law § 120.05 [9]), one count of reckless endangerment in the first degree (§ 120.25), and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child (§ 260.10 [1]). Even assuming, arguendo, that defendant's waiver of the right to appeal is invalid (see generally People v Thomas, 34 NY3d 545, 565-566 [2019], cert denied 589 US &mdash, 140 S Ct 2634 [2020]; People v Crogan, 181 AD3d 1212, 1212-1213 [4th Dept 2020], lv denied 35 NY3d 1026 [2020]) and therefore does not preclude our review of her challenge to the severity of her sentence (see People v Alls, 187 AD3d 1515, 1515 [4th Dept 2020]), we conclude that the sentence is not unduly harsh or severe. Present—Smith, J.P., Peradotto, Curran, Winslow and Montour, JJ.
