[*1]The People of the State of New York,	SCI Respondent,
vJaime Cintron, Defendant-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 8 years, unanimously affirmed.
Although we do not find that defendant made a valid waiver of the right to appeal (see People v Powell, __ AD3d __ [1st Dept 2016]), we perceive no basis for reducing the sentence.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
