Opinion
November 24, 1997
Appeal from the County Court, Orange County (Berry, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived her right to appeal her conviction and sentence as part of the negotiated plea of guilty ( see, People v. Callahan, 80 N.Y.2d 273; People v. Hayes, 229 A.D.2d 596). Thus, the defendant is precluded from claiming that the sentence imposed was excessive ( see, People v. Callahan, supra; People v. Hayes, supra).
The defendant's allegation that the Department of Correctional Services erred in denying her application for temporary work release may not be raised on the direct appeal from the judgment ( see, People v. Fornal, 221 A.D.2d 361; People v Curtis, 143 A.D.2d 1030).
Bracken, J. P., Pizzuto, Altman and Krausman, JJ., concur.
