v
Cordell D'Andria, appellant. (S.C.I. No. 16-00705)
Christopher J. Cardinale, Walden, NY, for appellant.
David M. Hoovler, District Attorney, Goshen, NY (William C. Ghee of counsel), for respondent.
DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Orange County (Robert H. Freehill, J.), rendered January 25, 2017, convicting him of attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's plea of guilty included a waiver of his right to appeal. Contrary to the defendant's contentions, the record amply demonstrates that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal (see People v Sanders, 25 NY3d 337, 341-342; People v Bradshaw, 18 NY3d 257, 264; People v Ramos, 7 NY3d 737, 738; People v Batista, 167 AD3d 69; People v Howard, 160 AD3d 897; People v Brown, 122 AD3d 133, 145-146).
Where, as in this case, the defendant has entered "into a guilty plea that includes a valid waiver of the right to appeal, that waiver includes any challenge to the severity of the sentence" (People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256). Accordingly, the defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes review of his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d at 256).
SCHEINKMAN, P.J., LASALLE, BARROS and IANNACCI, JJ., concur.
