DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant has not preserved for appellate review her contention that her waiver of the right to a jury trial was invalid ( see, CPL 470.05; People v. Magnano, 77 N.Y.2d 941, affg 158 A.D.2d 979, cert denied 502 U.S. 864; People v. McKnight, 198 A.D.2d 306). In any event, the written jury waiver executed by the defendant and her statements on the record indicate that her waiver was knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently made ( see, People v. McQueen, 52 N.Y.2d 1025; People v. Wilson, 258 A.D.2d 545 [2d Dept., Feb. 8, 1999]; People v. Forbes, 248 A.D.2d 552).
