MEMORANDUM:
On appeal from a judgment convicting him upon his plea of guilty of two counts of robbery in the second degree (Penal Law § 160.10[1], [2][b] ), defendant contends that Supreme Court erred in refusing to suppress identification testimony. We agree with the People that the valid waiver by defendant of his right to appeal encompasses that contention ( see People v. Kemp, 94 N.Y.2d 831, 833, 703 N.Y.S.2d 59, 724 N.E.2d 754; People v. Caraballo, 59 A.D.3d 971, 971, 872 N.Y.S.2d 315, lv. denied12 N.Y.3d 852, 881 N.Y.S.2d 663, 909 N.E.2d 586).
It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed. SCUDDER, P.J., SMITH, CENTRA, WHALEN, and DeJOSEPH, JJ., concur.
