MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

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 criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree (Penal Law § 220.16 [1]), defendant contends that his waiver of the right to appeal is invalid and that the postrelease supervision component of his sentence is unduly harsh and severe. The record establishes that defendant knowingly, voluntarily and intelligently waived his right to appeal (see People v Blount, 239 AD3d 1426, 1427 [4th Dept 2025], lv denied 44 NY3d 981 [2025]; see generally People v Thomas, 34 NY3d 545, 559-564 [2019], cert denied 589 US 1302 [2020]), and that waiver encompasses his challenge to the severity of the sentence (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 255 [2006]; People v Hidalgo, 91 NY2d 733, 737 [1998]).
