The Legal Aid Bureau of Buffalo, Inc., Buffalo (Robert L. Kemp of Counsel), for Defendant-Appellant. John J. Flynn, District Attorney, Buffalo (Mindy F. Vanleuvan of Counsel), for Respondent. Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Erie County (M. William Boller, A.J.), rendered March 3, 2021. The judgment convicted defendant, upon a guilty plea, of manslaughter 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 manslaughter in the first degree (Penal Law § 125.20 [4]), defendant contends that the waiver of the right to appeal is invalid and that his sentence is unduly harsh and severe. Even assuming, arguendo, that defendant’s waiver of the right to appeal is invalid and thus does not preclude our review of his challenge to the severity of his sentence (see People v. Seay, 201 AD3d 1361, 1361-1362 [4th Dept 2022]), we conclude that the sentence is not unduly harsh or severe.
