Frank H. Hiscock Legal Aid Society, Syracuse (Kristen N. McDermott of counsel), for defendant-appellant.

Barbara D. Underwood, Attorney General, Albany (Hannah Stith Long of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal from a judgment of the Onondaga County Court (Anthony F. Aloi, J.), rendered April 14, 2015. The judgment convicted defendant, upon her plea of guilty, of attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance in the second degree.

It is hereby ordered that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.

Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting her upon her plea of guilty of attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance in the second degree (Penal Law §§ 110.00, 220.41 [1]). Contrary to defendant's contention, the record establishes that she knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waived her right to appeal (see People v Morales, 148 AD3d 1638, 1639 [4th Dept 2017], lv denied 29 NY3d 1083 [2017]). The valid waiver of the right to appeal encompasses defendant's challenge to the severity of the sentence (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 255 [2006]; People v Hidalgo, 91 NY2d 733, 737 [1998]). Present—Smith, J.P., Peradotto, Carni, NeMoyer and Winslow, JJ.
