ERICKSON WEBB SCOLTON & HAJDU, LAKEWOOD (LYLE T. HAJDU OF COUNSEL), FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLANT. VINCENT A. HEMMING, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, WARSAW (MATTHEW J. DILLON OF COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

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 assault in the second degree (Penal Law § 120.05). Inasmuch as defendant does not contest the validity of his waiver of the right to appeal, defendant's challenge to the severity of his sentence “is foreclosed by his unchallenged waiver of the right to appeal” (People v Rosado-Thomas, 181 AD3d 1166, 1167 [4th Dept 2020], lv denied 35 NY3d 1048 [2020]; see People v Allen, 203 AD3d 1574, 1574 [4th Dept 2022], lv denied 38 NY3d 1031 [2022]).
