possession of a weapon in the fourth degree (§ 265.01 [2]). Although we agree with defendant that the waiver of the right to appeal does not encompass his challenge to the severity of the sentence (see People v Peterson, 111 AD3d 1412 , 1412 [2013]), we nevertheless conclude that the sentence is not unduly harsh or severe.

Present—Peradotto, J.P., Lindley, DeJoseph, Curran and Scudder, JJ.
