Judgments, Supreme Court, New York County (Mark Dwyer, J.), rendered March 17, 2017, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of burglary in the second degree and five counts of burglary in the third degree, and sentencing him to an aggregate term of 7 years, unanimously modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, to the extent of reducing the prison component of the sentence on the second-degree burglary conviction to a term of 3½ years and reducing the sentence on the remaining convictions to terms of 1 to 3 years, resulting in a new aggregate term of 3½ years, and otherwise affirmed.

We find the sentence excessive to the extent indicated. The record does not establish a valid appeal waiver.THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER
