The Legal Aid Bureau of Buffalo, Inc., Buffalo (Barbara J. Davies of Counsel), for Defendant–Appellant. Frank A. Sedita, III, District Attorney, Buffalo (Donna A. Milling of Counsel), for Respondent.
MEMORANDUM:
Appeal from a judgment of the Erie County Court (Sheila A. DiTullio, J.), rendered June 28, 2011. The judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree.
Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him upon his plea of guilty of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree (Penal Law § 265.03 [3] ). 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 N.Y.3d 248, 256, 811 N.Y.S.2d 623, 844 N.E.2d 1145). Although County Court's colloquy was brief, defendant signed a detailed *789written waiver of the right to appeal ( see People v. Ramos, 7 N.Y.3d 737, 738, 819 N.Y.S.2d 853, 853 N.E.2d 222), and he acknowledged to the court that he understood that he was foregoing the right to appeal ( cf. People v. Bradshaw, 18 N.Y.3d 257, 267, 938 N.Y.S.2d 254, 961 N.E.2d 645). The valid waiver encompasses any challenge by defendant to the severity of the sentence ( see Lopez, 6 N.Y.3d at 255, 811 N.Y.S.2d 623, 844 N.E.2d 1145).
It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed. SCUDDER, P.J., FAHEY, CARNI, LINDLEY, and SCONIERS, JJ., concur.
