[*1]THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, RESPONDENT,
vRAMAJ M. D., DEFENDANT-APPELLANT. 

LEANNE LAPP, PUBLIC DEFENDER, CANANDAIGUA (CARA A. WALDMAN OF COUNSEL), FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLANT. 
JAMES B. RITTS, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, CANANDAIGUA (V. CHRISTOPHER EAGGLESTON OF COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT. 

	Appeal from an adjudication of the Ontario County Court (William F. Kocher, J.), rendered December 20, 2018. Defendant was adjudicated a youthful offender upon his plea of guilty of disseminating indecent material to minors in the second degree (four counts). 
It is hereby ORDERED that the adjudication so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.
Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a youthful offender adjudication based on his plea of guilty of four counts of disseminating indecent material to minors in the second degree (Penal Law § 235.21 [3]). Even assuming, arguendo, that defendant's waiver of the right to appeal is invalid and therefore does not preclude our review of his challenge to the severity of the sentence (see People v Love, 181 AD3d 1193, 1193 [4th Dept 2020]), we conclude that the sentence is not unduly harsh or severe.
