MEMORANDUM:

Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him upon his plea of guilty of grand *532larceny in the fourth degree (Penal Law § 155.30[1] ), attempted grand larceny in the fourth degree (§§ 110.00, 155.30[1] ) and endangering the welfare of a child (§ 260.10[1] ). 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 N.Y.3d 248, 256, 811 N.Y.S.2d 623, 844 N.E.2d 1145). That valid waiver encompasses his further contention that County Court erred in refusing to suppress his statement to the police ( see People v. Kemp, 94 N.Y.2d 831, 833, 703 N.Y.S.2d 59, 724 N.E.2d 754). We note, however, that the certificate of conviction incorrectly reflects that defendant was sentenced under the second count of the indictment to a term of incarceration of two years for attempted grand larceny in the fourth degree. The certificate of conviction must therefore be amended to reflect that he was sentenced to a definite term of incarceration of one year under that count ( see People v. Saxton, 32 A.D.3d 1286, 1286–1287, 821 N.Y.S.2d 353).

It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.

SCUDDER, P.J., FAHEY, CARNI, VALENTINO, and MARTOCHE, JJ., concur.
