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 contempt in the first degree (Penal Law § 215.51 [b] [v]). Defendant failed to preserve for our review his challenge to the factual sufficiency of the plea allocution ( see People v Lopez, 71 NY2d 662, 665; People v Grimes, 53 AD3d 1055, 1056, lv denied 11 NY3d 789) and, in any event, that challenge is encompassed by his valid waiver of the right to appeal ( see Grimes, 53 AD3d at 1056).
