Majority
Appeal from a judgment of the Niagara County Court (Sara S. Farkas, J.), rendered January 13, 2016. The judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal possession of a weapon 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 possession of a weapon in the second degree (Penal Law § 265.03 [3]). 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 [2006]), and that valid waiver forecloses defendant’s challenge 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 — Smith, J.P., Carni, NeMoyer, Curran and Troutman, JJ.
