THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OP NEW YORK, Respondent, v. ALPHONSE LANDY, Appellant.

In satisfaction of a four-count indictment, defendant pleaded guilty to rape in the first degree. He was subsequently sentenced, in accordance with the plea agreement, to 15 years in prison to be followed by five years of postrelease supervision. Defendant appeals.

Although the original plea offer included a waiver of the right to appeal, the record does not establish that defendant waived this right and the People concede this fact.

Defendant's sole contention is that the sentence is harsh and excessive. Upon reviewing the record, we disagree. Defendant has a lengthy criminal record, has had several orders of protection issued against him prohibiting contact with various women and expressed no remorse for his conduct. Accordingly, we find no abuse of discretion nor the existence of extraordinary circumstances warranting a reduction of the sentence — which is within the permissible statutory range — in the interest of justice ( see People v Wilson, 61 AD3d 1269, 1272-1273; People v Kennard, 60 AD3d 1096, 1097, lv denied 12 NY3d 926).

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
