Memorandum:
On appeal from a judgment convicting him upon his guilty plea of burglary in the third degree (Penal Law § 140.20), defendant contends that County Court erred in ordring him to pay a specified amount of restitution without conducting a hearing to determine the amount. Defendant failed to preserve that contention for our review ( see People v Hannig, 68 AD3d 1779, lv denied 14 NY3d 801), and we decline to exercise our power to review it as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice ( see CPL 470.15 [a]). The valid waiver by defendant of the right to appeal encompasses his challenge to the severity of the sentence ( see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256).
