Frank H. Hiscock Legal Aid Society, Syracuse (Caitlin M. Connelly of counsel), for defendant-appellant.

William J. Fitzpatrick, District Attorney, Syracuse (Bradley W. Oastler of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal from a judgment of the Onondaga County Court (Stephen J. Dougherty, J.), rendered February 15, 2022. The judgment convicted defendant upon his plea of guilty of course of sexual conduct against a child in the first degree.

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 course of sexual conduct against a child in the first degree (Penal Law § 130.75 [1] [a]), defendant contends that his waiver of the right to appeal is unenforceable and his sentence is unduly harsh and severe. Even assuming, arguendo, that the waiver of the right to appeal is unenforceable, 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]). Present—Smith, J.P., Lindley, Bannister, Montour and Greenwood, JJ.
