837 KA 15-00066

[*1]THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, RESPONDENT,
vNATHANIEL J. DOYLE, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT. 

TIMOTHY P. DONAHER, PUBLIC DEFENDER, ROCHESTER (KIMBERLY F. DUGUAY OF COUNSEL), FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
SANDRA DOORLEY, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, ROCHESTER (LEAH R. MERVINE OF COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT. 

	Appeal from a judgment of the Monroe County Court (Christopher S. Ciaccio, J.), rendered April 2, 2014. The judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal contempt in the first degree (two counts). 
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 two counts of criminal contempt in the first degree (Penal Law § 215.51 [c]). Contrary to defendant's contention, the record establishes that his waiver of the right to appeal was knowing, intelligent, and voluntary (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256), and we conclude that the valid waiver encompasses his challenge to the severity of the sentence (see id. at 255-256; People v Hidalgo, 91 NY2d 733, 737; cf. People v Maracle, 19 NY3d 925, 928).
