v
PETER VEGAS, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
THE LEGAL AID BUREAU OF BUFFALO, INC., BUFFALO (NICHOLAS P. DIFONZO OF COUNSEL), FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
JOHN J. FLYNN, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, BUFFALO (MICHAEL J. HILLERY OF COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT.
Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Erie County (Deborah A. Haendiges, J.), rendered January 7, 2019. The judgment convicted defendant, upon a plea of guilty, of attempted murder in the second degree, assault in the second degree, and endangering the welfare of a child (three counts).
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 attempted murder in the second degree (Penal Law §§ 110.00, 125.25 [1]), assault in the second degree
(§ 120.05 [2]), and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child (§ 260.10 [1]). Even assuming, arguendo, that defendant did not validly waive his right to appeal (see generally People v Davis, 189 AD3d 2140, 2141 [4th Dept 2020]), we nevertheless conclude that the sentence is not unduly harsh or severe.
