THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, RESPONDENT,

                      V                              MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

PATRICK J. DAILEY, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.


DAVID J. FARRUGIA, PUBLIC DEFENDER, LOCKPORT (JOSEPH G. FRAZIER OF
COUNSEL), FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.

NIAGARA COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE, LOCKPORT (THOMAS H. BRANDT
OF COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT.


     Appeal from a judgment of the Niagara County Court (Sara Sheldon
Farkas, J.), rendered February 27, 2015. The judgment convicted
defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of attempted sexual abuse in the
first 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 sexual abuse in the first degree
(Penal Law §§ 110.00, 130.65 [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 NY3d 248, 256), and that valid waiver forecloses any
challenge by defendant to the severity of the sentence (see id. at
255; see generally People v Lococo, 92 NY2d 825, 827; People v
Hidalgo, 91 NY2d 733, 737).
