Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Richard Rodriguez, Appellant.
[784 NYS2d 863]

Opinion:
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Rosalyn Richter, J.), rendered July 12, 2002, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, and sentencing him to a term of 3 Vs to 7 years, unanimously affirmed.
The record establishes that defendant made a valid waiver of his right to appeal, and that the waiver encompassed his suppression and excessive sentence claims (see People v Kemp, 94 NY2d 831 [1999]). Accordingly, review of those issues is foreclosed. In any event, were we to find that the waiver did not foreclose review, we would reject both claims.
