THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, RESPONDENT,
V MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
WEYMAN TINCH, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
THE LEGAL AID BUREAU OF BUFFALO, INC., BUFFALO (ROBERT L. KEMP OF
COUNSEL), FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
FRANK A. SEDITA, III, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, BUFFALO (DONNA A. MILLING OF
COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT.
Appeal from a judgment of the Erie County Court (Thomas P.
Franczyk, J.), rendered January 25, 2011. The judgment convicted
defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of attempted assault in the second
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 attempted assault in the second degree
(Penal Law §§ 110.00, 120.05 [1]). Contrary to defendant’s
contention, the record establishes that he knowingly, voluntarily and
intelligently waived the right to appeal (see generally People v
Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256), and that valid waiver forecloses any
challenge by defendant to the severity of the sentence (see id. at
255; see generally People v Lococo, 92 NY2d 825, 827; People v
Hidalgo, 91 NY2d 733, 737).
