Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York June 8, 2001 (People v. Haynes)

—Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The waiver by defendant of his right to appeal encompasses his challenge to the severity of the sentence (see, People v Hidalgo, 91 NY2d 733, 737). While the waiver does not encompass his contention that the sentence is illegal (see, People v Callahan, 80 NY2d 273, 280), that contention is without merit.
