Appeal from a judgment of the Erie County Court (Thomas P. Franczyk, J.), rendered September 20, 2012. The judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of robbery in the second degree.
It is hereby ordered that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.
Memorandum: On appeal from a judgment convicting him
The People correctly concede that the waiver of the right to appeal is not valid “inasmuch as [defendant] pleaded guilty to the sole count in the superior court information without receiving a sentencing commitment or any other consideration” (People v Gramza, 140 AD3d 1643, 1644 [2016], lv denied 28 NY3d 930 [2016]; see People v Collins, 129 AD3d 1676, 1676 [2015], lv denied 26 NY3d 1038 [2015]). The waiver thus does not preclude defendant’s challenges to the severity of the sentence. We nevertheless conclude that the sentence is not unduly harsh or severe.
