THE LEGAL AID BUREAU OF BUFFALO, INC., BUFFALO (ROBERT L. KEMP OF COUNSEL), FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.

FRANK J. CLARK, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, BUFFALO (J. MICHAEL MARION OF COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT.

Present — Gorski, J.P., Martoche, Centra, Fahey and Peradotto, JJ.


It is hereby ordered that the judgment so appealed from be and the same hereby is unanimously affirmed.

Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him upon his plea of guilty of robbery in the third degree (Penal Law § 160.05). We reject the contention of defendant that his waiver of the right to appeal was invalid. County Court was not required to "`engage in any particular litany'" ( People v Calvi, 89 NY2d 868, 871; see People v Looney, 20 AD3d 926, lv denied 5 NY3d 807; People v Brown, 281 AD2d 962, lv denied 96 NY2d 899). The plea allocution establishes that the waiver of the right to appeal was voluntarily, knowingly, and intelligently entered ( see Calvi, 89 NY2d at 871; Looney, 20 AD3d 926; Brown, 281 AD2d at 962), even though some of defendant's responses to the court's inquiries were "`monosyllabic'" ( People v Wilson, 38 AD3d 1348, 1348). The valid waiver encompasses defendant's contention that the court erred in refusing to suppress the showup identification ( see People v Kemp, 94 NY2d 831, 833; People v Pan Zhi Feng, 15 AD3d 862, lv denied 5 NY3d 809; People v Cheatham, 266 AD2d 875, lv denied 94 NY2d 917).
