The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Tykaine THOMPSON–WEBB, Appellant.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Clinton County (Keith Bruno, J.), rendered October 14, 2022, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crime of aggravated harassment of an employee by an incarcerated individual.
Defendant pleaded guilty to the crime of aggravated harassment of an employee by an incarcerated individual with the understanding that he would be sentenced, as a second felony offender, to a prison term of 2 to 4 years, which would run consecutively to the sentence he was currently serving. The plea agreement also required defendant to waive the right to appeal. County Court thereafter imposed the agreed-upon sentence, and defendant appeals.
We affirm. Defendant's sole contention on appeal – that the imposed sentence is unduly harsh and severe – is precluded by his unchallenged appeal waiver (see People v. Willetts, 234 A.D.3d 1020, 1021, 222 N.Y.S.3d 809 [3d Dept. 2025], lv denied 43 N.Y.3d 966, 232 N.Y.S.3d 449, 258 N.E.3d 1222 [2025]; People v. Nolan, 224 A.D.3d 996, 998, 202 N.Y.S.3d 832 [3d Dept. 2024], lv denied 42 N.Y.3d 929, 216 N.Y.S.3d 93, 240 N.E.3d 812 [2024]; People v. Deans, 202 A.D.3d 1161, 1162, 158 N.Y.S.3d 652 [3d Dept. 2022]).
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
Clark, J.P., Aarons, Lynch, Ceresia and Powers, JJ., concur.
