[*1]THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, RESPONDENT,
vPERRY TOLBERT, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT. 

CAITLIN M. CONNELLY, BUFFALO, FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLANT. 

	Appeal from a judgment of the Wyoming County Court (Michael M. Mohun, J.), rendered April 18, 2019. The judgment convicted defendant upon a plea of guilty of attempted promoting prison contraband 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 attempted promoting prison contraband in the first degree (Penal Law §§ 110.00, 205.25 [2]). Although defendant's sole contention that County Court abused its discretion in denying his motion to withdraw the plea survives the valid waiver of the right to appeal (see People v Dale, 142 AD3d 1287, 1288 [4th Dept 2016], lv denied 28 NY3d 1144 [2017]), we conclude based upon the record before us that his contention lacks merit (see People v Gerena, 174 AD3d 1428, 1429-1430 [4th Dept 2019], lv denied 34 NY3d 981 [2019]; see generally People v Blount, 90 NY2d 998, 999 [1997]).
