This opinion is uncorrected and subject to revision before publication in the Official Reports. Decided on June 28, 2019 SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK Appellate Division, Fourth Judicial Department PRESENT: CENTRA, J.P., CARNI, DEJOSEPH, CURRAN, AND WINSLOW, JJ. 759 KA 15-02054 [*1]THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, RESPONDENT, v ADAM J. NOTO, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT. TIMOTHY P. DONAHER, PUBLIC DEFENDER, ROCHESTER (BENJAMIN L. NELSON OF COUNSEL), FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLANT. SANDRA DOORLEY, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, ROCHESTER (STEPHEN X. O'BRIEN OF COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT. Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Monroe County (Alex R. Renzi, J.), rendered September 2, 2015. The judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of burglary in the second degree. It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him upon his plea of guilty of burglary in the second degree (Penal Law § 140.25 [2]). 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 Davis, 114 AD3d 1166, 1167 [4th Dept 2014], lv denied 23 NY3d 1035 [2014]), we conclude that the sentence is not unduly harsh or severe.
