Appeal from a judgment of the Niagara County Court (Matthew J. Murphy, III, J.), rendered June 30, 2011. The judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of attempted robbery in the first degree and robbery in the third 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 robbery in the first degree (Penal Law §§ 110.00, 160.15 [4]) and robbery in the third degree (§ 160.05). 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—Scudder, EJ., Peradotto, Lindley, Valentino and Martoche, JJ.
