[*1]THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, RESPONDENT,

v

ANTHONY WORK, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.

Now, upon the Court's own motion,

It is hereby ORDERED that the memorandum and order entered February 7, 2020 (— AD3d &mdash, 2020 NY Slip Op 00962 [4th Dept 2020]) is vacated and the following memorandum and order is substituted therefor:

Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Erie County (Deborah A. Haendiges, J.), rendered February 1, 2017. The judgment convicted defendant upon his plea of guilty of criminal possession of a weapon in the third 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 criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree (Penal Law § 265.02 [1]). Contrary to defendant's contention, he knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waived the right to appeal (see generally People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256 [2006]), and his valid waiver of the right to appeal encompasses his challenge to the severity of the sentence (see id. at 255; see generally People v Lococo, 92 NY2d 825, 827 [1998]; People v Hidalgo, 91 NY2d 733, 737 [1998]).
