Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Lester M. Streeter, Appellant. (Appeal No. 1.)
[40 NYS3d 344]—

Opinion:
Appeal from a judgment of the Niagara County Court (Matthew J. Murphy, III, J.), rendered February 5, 2015. The judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree.
It is hereby ordered that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.
Present—Centra, J.P., Peradotto, DeJoseph, NeMoyer and Curran, JJ.
Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him upon his plea of guilty of attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree (Penal Law § 110.00, 265.03 [3]). 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 NY3d 248, 256 [2006]), and that valid waiver forecloses any challenge by defendant 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]).
