Majority
Appeal from a judgment of the Cayuga County Court (Mark H. Fandrich, A.J.), rendered August 21, 2012. The judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal sale of a controlled substance 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 criminal sale of a controlled substance in the second degree (Penal Law § 220.41 [1]). The record establishes that defendant knowingly, voluntarily and intelligently waived the right to appeal (see generally People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248 , 256 [2006]), 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 [1998]; People v Hidalgo, 91 NY2d 733 , 737 [1998]).
Present— Scudder, PJ., Smith, Carni, Lindley and Sconiers, JJ.
