v
LAQUILL JONES, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
THE LEGAL AID BUREAU OF BUFFALO, INC., BUFFALO (NICHOLAS P. DIFONZO OF COUNSEL), FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
JOHN J. FLYNN, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, BUFFALO (MATTHEW B. POWERS OF COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT.
Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Erie County (John L. Michalski, A.J.), rendered December 19, 2017. The judgment convicted defendant upon a plea of guilty of attempted robbery in the first degree.
It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.
Memorandum: On appeal from a judgment convicting him upon his plea of guilty of attempted robbery in the first degree (Penal Law §§ 110.00, 160.15 [4]), defendant contends that his waiver of the right to appeal was not knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily entered. We reject that contention (see People v Bryant, 28 NY3d 1094, 1096 [2016]; People v Colon, 122 AD3d 1309, 1309 [4th Dept 2014], lv denied 25 NY3d 1200 [2015]). Defendant's valid waiver of the right to appeal encompasses his challenge to the severity of the sentence (see generally People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256 [2006]).
