Steven A. Feldman, Uniondale, N.Y., for appellant. Thomas J. Spota, District Attorney, Riverhead, N.Y. (Karla Lato and Michael Brennan of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Suffolk County (Hudson, J.), rendered March 3, 2011, convicting her of aggravated operation of a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs and operation of a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs, upon her plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
As conceded by the defendant, she failed to preserve for appellate review her contentions that Leandra's Law (Vehicle and Traffic Law §§ 1198, 1193) is unconstitutional ( see People v. Farrelly, 92 A.D.3d 1290, 1291, 938 N.Y.S.2d 489;People v. Lashley, 58 A.D.3d 753, 754, 872 N.Y.S.2d 162). The defendant's remaining contention is also unpreserved for appellate review. We decline to review the defendant's contentions in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction.
