[*1]THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, RESPONDENT,
v
ALEX D. BROWN, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
DAVID J. FARRUGIA, PUBLIC DEFENDER, LOCKPORT (JOSEPH G. FRAZIER OF COUNSEL), FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
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 9, 2018. The judgment convicted defendant, upon a plea of guilty, of attempted arson in the second 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 arson in the second degree (Penal Law §§ 110.00, 150.15). 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]). That valid waiver forecloses defendant's challenge to the severity of his sentence ( see id. at 255 ; see generally People v Lococo , 92 NY2d 825, 827 [1998]; People v Hidalgo , 91 NY2d 733, 737 [1998]).
Entered: November 8, 2019
Mark W. Bennett
Clerk of the Court
