Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Nov 29, 2011
2011 N.Y. Slip Op. 8791 (N.Y. App. Div. 2011)

Opinion

2010-04589.

Decided on November 29, 2011.

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Del Giudice, J.), imposed May 5, 2010, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.

ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.

Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York, N.Y., for appellant.

Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove and Linda Breen of counsel; Robert Ho on the memorandum), for respondent.

A. GAIL PRUDENTI, P.J., RUTH C. BALKIN, L. PRISCILLA HALL, SHERI S. ROMAN, JJ.


DECISION ORDER

Under the circumstances of this case, the defendant's waiver of the right to appeal does not foreclose her right to challenge the sentence ultimately imposed ( see People v Banchs , 22 AD3d 595 ; People v Eldridge , 8 AD3d 294 , 295). Nevertheless, the sentence imposed was not excessive ( see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).

PRUDENTI, P.J., BALKIN, HALL and ROMAN, JJ., concur.
