Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Ronald A. Zweibel, J.), rendered November 7, 2013, convicting defendant, upon her plea of guilty, of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, and sentencing her, as a second felony drug offender, to a term of 2 years, with 2 years' postrelease supervision, unanimously affirmed.
Upon our review of the sealed affidavit in support of the search warrant application, we find that “the confidential informant existed,” “the information from the informant provided ample basis to conclude that the informant had a basis for his or her knowledge,” and “it further sufficed to establish probable cause” to search the apartment (People v. Vasquez, 140 A.D.3d 571, 572, 34 N.Y.S.3d 441 [1st Dept.2016] [internal quotation marks and citation omitted] ).We perceive no basis for reducing the term of postrelease supervision.
