THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. JOHN MOORE, Appellant.

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

Memorandum: On appeal from a judgment convicting him upon his plea of guilty of attempted assault in the second degree (Penal Law §§ 110.00, 120.05), defendant contends that his plea was not validly entered because he was incompetent. We reject that contention. County Court properly relied upon the reports of two mental health professionals who found that defendant was competent ( see People v Alexander, 185 AD2d 712, 713, lv denied 80 NY2d 926). In addition, the record of the plea colloquy establishes "that defendant possessed a `rational and factual understanding of the proceeding' . . . [and] that defendant's guilty plea was knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily entered with the aid of counsel and after the court had fully advised him of the consequences of his plea" ( id.). Contrary to the further contention of defendant, he knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived his right to appeal ( see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256), and that valid waiver encompasses his challenge to the severity of the sentence ( see People v Hidalgo, 91 NY2d 733, 737; People v Cameron, 55 AD3d 1382).
