Opinion
August 21, 1989
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Lombardo, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, by reducing the sentence from 8 1/3 to 25 years' imprisonment, to 5 to 15 years' imprisonment; as modified, the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's claim that her plea of guilty should be vacated is not preserved for appellate review as a question of law (see, People v. Lopez, 71 N.Y.2d 662; People v. Claudio, 64 N.Y.2d 858; People v. Pellegrino, 60 N.Y.2d 636), and review of this question in the interest of justice is not warranted. However, we find that the sentence imposed was excessive to the extent indicated. Bracken, J.P., Kunzeman, Sullivan and Balletta, JJ., concur.
