Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Charles Greene, Appellant.
[968 NYS2d 923]

Opinion:
— Appeal from a judgment of the Oneida County Court (Barry M. Donalty, J.), rendered September 14, 2010. The judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of course of sexual conduct against a child 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 course of sexual conduct against a child in the first degree (Penal Law § 130.75 [1] [b]). 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]). Present — Smith, J.P, Fahey, Garni, Sconiers and Valentino, JJ.
