The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Dana Garner, Appellant.
    [974 NYS2d 868]
   — Appeal from a judgment of the Oneida County Court (Barry M. Donalty, J.), rendered October 19, 2009. The judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of attempted burglary in the second 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 burglary in the second degree (Penal Law §§ 110.00, 140.25 [2]). Contrary to defendant’s contention, we conclude that his waiver of the right to appeal was knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently entered (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256 [2006]). To the extent that defendant challenges the factual sufficiency of the plea allocution, that challenge is encompassed by the valid waiver of the right to appeal (see People v Topolski, 106 AD3d 1532, 1533 [2013], lv denied 21 NY3d 1020 [2013]). Although defendant’s contention that the plea was not knowingly, voluntarily and intelligently entered survives the valid waiver of the right to appeal (see People v Theall, 109 AD3d 1107, 1107-1108 [2013]), we conclude based upon the record before us that his contention lacks merit (see generally People v Seeber, 4 NY3d 780, 781-782 [2005]). Present — Smith, J.E, Centra, Fahey, Garni and Whalen, JJ.
