The opinion

SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK

Appellate Division, Fourth Judicial Department

1201

KA 09-02240

PRESENT: SCUDDER, P.J., FAHEY, CARNI, VALENTINO, AND MARTOCHE, JJ.

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, RESPONDENT,

V MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

DANA BROWN, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.

JEANNIE MICHALSKI, CONFLICT DEFENDER, GENESEO, FOR DEFENDANT-

APPELLANT.

GREGORY J. MCCAFFREY, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, GENESEO (JOSHUA J. TONRA OF

COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT.

Appeal from a judgment of the Livingston County Court (Dennis S.

Cohen, J.), rendered November 6, 2008. The judgment convicted

defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of grand larceny in the fourth

degree, attempted grand larceny in the fourth degree and endangering

the welfare of a child.

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 grand larceny in the fourth degree (Penal

Law § 155.30 [1]), attempted grand larceny in the fourth degree (§§

110.00, 155.30 [1]) and endangering the welfare of a child (§ 260.10

[1]). 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). That valid waiver

encompasses his further contention that County Court erred in refusing

to suppress his statement to the police (see People v Kemp, 94 NY2d

831, 833). We note, however, that the certificate of conviction

incorrectly reflects that defendant was sentenced under the second

count of the indictment to a term of incarceration of two years for

attempted grand larceny in the fourth degree. The certificate of

conviction must therefore be amended to reflect that he was sentenced

to a definite term of incarceration of one year under that count (see

People v Saxton, 32 AD3d 1286, 1286-1287).
