[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent,

v

Tiara Ferebee, appellant.

Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (Meredith S. Holt of counsel), for appellant.

Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, NY (John M. Castellano, Johnnette Traill, and Merri Turk Lasky of counsel; Marina Kosmetatos on the memorandum), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by her motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Dorothy Chin-Brandt, J., at plea; Stephanie Zaro, J., at sentence), imposed January 10, 2017, upon her plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.

ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.

The record demonstrates that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived her right to appeal (see People v Sanders, 25 NY3d 337, 339-342; People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256-257; cf. People v Brown, 122 AD3d 133, 145-146). The defendant's valid waiver of her right to appeal precludes review of her contention that the sentence imposed was excessive (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d at 255-256).

SCHEINKMAN, P.J., BALKIN, SGROI, BRATHWAITE NELSON and CHRISTOPHER, JJ., concur.
