THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. JEAN LUC JOSEPH, Appellant.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's purported waiver of his right to appeal from his sentence cannot be considered knowing, voluntary, and intelligent ( see People v Warde, 45 AD3d 879; People v Sheppard, 29 AD3d 829; People v Henry, 29 AD3d 820). However, since the defendant pleaded guilty with the understanding that he would receive the sentence that was thereafter imposed, which did not include youthful offender treatment, he has no cause to complain on appeal ( see People v Gray, 46 AD3d 703; People v Shadow, 12 AD3d 724, 726; People v Kazepis, 101 AD2d 816). The Supreme Court properly exercised its discretion in declining to sentence the defendant as a youthful offender since the defendant was convicted of an armed felony and there were no mitigating circumstances attendant to the commission of the crime ( see CPL 720.10 [a] [ii]; [3] [i]; People v Thomas, 206 AD2d 708, 709).
