Opinion
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by her motion, from a sentence of the County Court, Suffolk County (Condon, J.), imposed March 14, 2014, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.
ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.
The defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived her right to appeal (see People v. Sanders, 25 N.Y.3d 337, 12 N.Y.S.3d 593, 34 N.E.3d 344 ; People v. Ramos, 7 N.Y.3d 737, 738, 819 N.Y.S.2d 853, 853 N.E.2d 222 ; People v. Lopez, 6 N.Y.3d 248, 256, 811 N.Y.S.2d 623, 844 N.E.2d 1145 ). The defendant's valid waiver of her right to appeal forecloses appellate review of her claim that the sentence imposed was excessive (see People v. Gavarette, 135 A.D.3d 785, 22 N.Y.S.3d 878 ; People v. Morrison, 113 A.D.3d 877, 979 N.Y.S.2d 543 ).
