[*1]
 The People of the State of New York,Respondent,
v
Patrick Rance, Appellant.

Lynn W.L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (David P. Greenberg of counsel), forappellant.

Kenneth P. Thompson, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove andSholom J. Twersky of counsel; Jason Kosek on the brief), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County(Foley J.), rendered July 11, 2012, as amended on July 17, 2012, convicting him ofattempted criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, upon his plea of guilty,and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment, as amended, is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention, he knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligentlywaived his right to appeal (seePeople v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248 [2006]; People v Corbin, 121 AD3d 803 [2014]; People v Bennett, 102 AD3d881 [2013]). Accordingly, the defendant's valid waiver of his right to appealprecludes appellate review of his contention that the hearing court erred in denyingsuppression (see People v Kemp, 94 NY2d 831, 833 [1999]; People v Corbin, 121 AD3d803 [2014]). Skelos, J.P., Dickerson, Chambers and Sgroi, JJ., concur.
