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 [2006]). That valid waiver encompasses defendant’s contention that *1479County Court erred in refusing to suppress his statements to the police (see People v Mack, 96 AD3d 1689, 1689 [2012], lv denied 19 NY3d 1027 [2012]; People v Aguayo, 37 AD3d 1081, 1081 [2007], lv denied 8 NY3d 981 [2007]), as well as his challenge to the severity of the sentence (see Lopez, 6 NY3d at 255; People v Lococo, 92 NY2d 825, 827 [1998]).
