Lynn W.L. Fahey, New York, NY, for appellant.
Eric Gonzalez, Acting District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove and Sholom J. Twersky of counsel; Gregory Musso on the memorandum), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by her motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Murphy, J.), imposed December 17, 2015, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.
ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.
The defendant's waiver of her right to appeal was invalid (see People v. Head, 147 A.D.3d 1083, 47 N.Y.S.3d 713 ; People v. Bynum, 142 A.D.3d 1183, 37 N.Y.S.3d 904 ; People v. Burnett–Hicks, 133 A.D.3d 773, 19 N.Y.S.3d 181 ). However, the sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80, 455 N.Y.S.2d 675 ).
