[*1]THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, RESPONDENT,

v

JAMES M. KNIGHT, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.




SIMON K. MOODY, AUBURN, FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.

JON E. BUDELMANN, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, AUBURN (AMANDA L. CASSELMAN OF COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT.



Appeal from a judgment of the Cayuga County Court (Mark H. Fandrich, A.J.), rendered September 22, 2015. The judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of assault in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree.

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 assault in the second degree (Penal Law

§ 120.05 [3]) and criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree (§ 265.02 [1]). Defendant's valid waiver of the right to appeal with respect to both the conviction and sentence encompasses his contention that the sentence imposed is unduly harsh and severe (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]).

Entered: March 16, 2018

Mark W. Bennett

Clerk of the Court
