MEMORANDUM:
Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him upon his plea of guilty of burglary in the first degree (Penal Law § 140.30[2] ) and robbery in the second degree (§ 160.10[1] ). Contrary to defendant's contention, we conclude that he knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived his right to appeal ( see generally People v. Lopez, 6 N.Y.3d 248, 256, 811 N.Y.S.2d 623, 844 N.E.2d 1145;People v. Kemp, 94 N.Y.2d 831, 833, 703 N.Y.S.2d 59, 724 N.E.2d 754). The challenge by defendant to County Court's suppression ruling is encompassed by that valid waiver of the right to appeal ( see Kemp, 94 N.Y.2d at 833, 703 N.Y.S.2d 59, 724 N.E.2d 754;People v. Goossens, 92 A.D.3d 1282, 1283, 938 N.Y.S.2d 486,lv. denied19 N.Y.3d 960, 950 N.Y.S.2d 112, 973 N.E.2d 210).
It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.
