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

DAVID J. FARRUGIA, PUBLIC DEFENDER, LOCKPORT (JOSEPH G. FRAZIER OF COUNSEL), FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLANT. 
MATTHEW BILES, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT PRO SE.
CAROLINE A. WOJTASZEK, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, LOCKPORT (LAURA T. JORDAN OF COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT. 

	Appeal from a judgment of the Niagara County Court (Matthew J. Murphy, III, J.), rendered July 14, 2017. The judgment convicted defendant upon a plea of guilty of attempted robbery 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 a plea of guilty of attempted robbery in the first degree (Penal Law §§ 110.00, 160.15 [1]). Contrary to defendant's contentions in his main and pro se supplemental briefs, his valid waiver of the right to appeal forecloses any challenge by him to the severity of the sentence (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 255-256 [2006]; People v Lococo, 92 NY2d 825, 827 [1998]).
