DECISION & ORDER Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Dutchess County (Craig Stephen Brown, J.), rendered June 20, 2016, convicting him of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The record demonstrates that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently entered a plea of guilty to an indictment charging him with criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, withdrew all motions, including any motions to suppress any physical evidence, and waived his right to appeal (see People v. Bryant, 28 N.Y.3d 1094, 45 N.Y.S.3d 335, 68 N.E.3d 60 ; People v. Sanders, 25 N.Y.3d 337, 12 N.Y.S.3d 593, 34 N.E.3d 344 ). The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes appellate review of his challenge to the County Court's suppression rulings (see People v. Kemp, 94 N.Y.2d 831, 833, 703 N.Y.S.2d 59, 724 N.E.2d 754 ; People v. Kane, 151 A.D.3d 751, 53 N.Y.S.3d 562 ), as well as his contention that the sentence imposed was excessive (see People v. Lopez, 6 N.Y.3d 248, 255, 811 N.Y.S.2d 623, 844 N.E.2d 1145 ).
