Before: PETERS, P.J., LAHTINEN, STEIN and GARRY, JJ.

PETERS, P.J.

[107 A.D.3d 1046]Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Sullivan County (LaBuda, J.), rendered June 27, 2011, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crimes of burglary in the second degree, grand larceny in the fourth degree, criminal possession of stolen property in the fourth degree, conspiracy in the fourth degree and attempted petit larceny, and the violation of unlawful possession of marihuana.

In 2010, defendant and a codefendant were charged in an indictment with various offenses arising out of their entry into a residence. Defendant pleaded guilty to the entire indictment and waived his right to appeal without consideration. He was thereafter sentenced to an aggregate prison term of 8 1/2 years, to be followed by five years of postrelease supervision. He appeals, and we affirm.

Contrary to the People's assertion, defendant was not required to move to withdraw his plea or vacate the judgment of conviction in order to preserve his challenge to the validity of his appeal waiver ( see [107 A.D.3d 1047]People v. Baliraj, 101 A.D.3d 1175, 1176, 954 N.Y.S.2d 711 [2012];People v. Lewis, 48 A.D.3d 880, 880–881, 851 N.Y.S.2d 295 [2008] ). Having exercised his statutory right to plead guilty to all of the charges levied against him in the indictment and inasmuch as “no promise, plea agreement, reduced charge, or any other bargain or consideration” was given in exchange for that plea, defendant was improperly required to waive his right to appeal ( People v. Nicelli, 74 A.D.3d 1235, 1236, 904 N.Y.S.2d 119 [2010];seeCPL 220.10[2]; People v. Meiner, 20 A.D.3d 778, 778 n., 797 N.Y.S.2d 925 [2005];People v. Coles, 13 A.D.3d 665, 666, 786 N.Y.S.2d 595 [2004] ).

County Court's treatment of defense counsel prompted a recusal request, which was later withdrawn. Thus, defendant's claims surrounding the court's improper conduct are unpreserved ( see People v. White, 81 A.D.3d 1039, 1039, 916 N.Y.S.2d 652 [2011];People v. Mao–Sheng Lin, 50 A.D.3d 1251, 1253, 855 N.Y.S.2d 729 [2008],lv. denied
