v
NICHOLAS S. WEBER, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
THE LEGAL AID BUREAU OF BUFFALO, INC., BUFFALO (TIMOTHY P. MURPHY OF COUNSEL), FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
JOHN J. FLYNN, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, BUFFALO (ASHLEY R. LOWRY OF COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT.
Appeal from a judgment of the Erie County Court (Thomas P. Franczyk, J.), rendered January 19, 2017. The judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of attempted robbery in the third degree (two counts).
It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.
Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him upon his plea of guilty of two counts of attempted robbery in the third degree (Penal Law §§ 110.00, 160.05). Contrary to defendant's contention, we conclude that "[t]he plea colloquy and the written waiver of the right to appeal signed [and acknowledged in County Court] by defendant demonstrate that [he] knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived the right to appeal, including the right to appeal the severity of the sentence" (People v Pierce, 151 AD3d 1964, 1965 [4th Dept 2017], lv denied 30 NY3d 952 [2017] [internal quotation marks omitted]; see People v Lindsay, 162 AD3d 1647, 1648 [4th Dept 2018], lv denied 32 NY3d 939 [2018]). Defendant's valid waiver of the right to appeal forecloses his challenge to the severity of the sentence (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 255 [2006]; People v Hidalgo, 91 NY2d 733, 737 [1998]; cf. People v Maracle, 19 NY3d 925, 928 [2012]).
