PRESENT:
THE LEGAL AID BUREAU OF BUFFALO, INC., BUFFALO (TIMOTHY P. MURPHY OF COUNSEL), FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
JOHN J. FLYNN, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, BUFFALO (ASHLEY R. LOWRY OF COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT.
Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Erie County (Deborah A. Haendiges, J.), rendered October 18, 2016. The judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of attempted reckless endangerment in the first degree.
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 attempted reckless endangerment in the first degree (Penal Law §§ 110.00, 120.25). Contrary to defendant's contention, he knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waived the right to appeal (see generally People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256 [2006]), and his valid waiver of the right to appeal encompasses his challenge to the severity of the sentence (see id. at 255; see generally People v Lococo, 92 NY2d 825, 827 [1998]; People v Hidalgo, 91 NY2d 733, 737 [1998]).
