MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

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 robbery in the first degree ( Penal Law § 160.15 [4 ] ) and attempted robbery in the first degree ( §§ 110.00, 160.15[4] ). Contrary to defendant's contention, the record establishes that he knowingly, voluntarily and intelligently waived his right to appeal (see People v. Taggart, 124 A.D.3d 1362, 1362, 998 N.Y.S.2d 272 [4th Dept. 2015] ; see generally People v. Lopez, 6 N.Y.3d 248, 256, 811 N.Y.S.2d 623, 844 N.E.2d 1145 [2006] ), and that valid waiver forecloses his challenge to the severity of the sentence (see Lopez, 6 N.Y.3d at 255, 811 N.Y.S.2d 623, 844 N.E.2d 1145 ; People v. Hidalgo, 91 N.Y.2d 733, 737, 675 N.Y.S.2d 327, 698 N.E.2d 46 [1998] ).

We note that the crimes of conviction listed on the uniform sentence and commitment form do not correspond with the counts of the indictment under which those crimes were charged. The uniform sentence and commitment form incorrectly reflects that count three of the indictment charged defendant with robbery in the first degree and count six of the indictment charged him with attempted robbery in the first degree, but count three of the indictment charged him with attempted robbery in the first degree and count six of the indictment charged him with robbery in the first degree. The uniform sentence and commitment form must therefore be amended to correct those clerical errors (see People v. Glowacki, 159 A.D.3d 1585, 1586, 70 N.Y.S.3d 441 [4th Dept. 2018], lv denied 31 N.Y.3d 1117, 81 N.Y.S.3d 377, 106 N.E.3d 760 [2018] ; People v. Cruz, 144 A.D.3d 1494, 1495, 40 N.Y.S.3d 860 [4th Dept. 2016] ).
