v

Noel Alfonso, Defendant-Appellant.

Robert S. Dean, Center for Appellate Litigation, New York (Nicolas Duque Franco of counsel), for appellant.

Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (John T. Hughes of counsel), for respondent.

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Larry R.C. Stephen, J.), rendered November 30, 2016, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of robbery in the first degree, and sentencing him to a term of seven years, unanimously modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, to the extent of reducing the sentence to five years, and otherwise affirmed.

We do not find that defendant made a valid waiver of his right to appeal, and we find the sentence excessive to the extent indicated.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER

OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
