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

v

Leigh Carney, appellant.



Strauss & Kallus PLLC, Goshen, NY (Walter J. Storey of counsel), for appellant.

David M. Hoovler, District Attorney, Goshen, NY (Robert H. Middlemiss of counsel), for respondent.



DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Orange County (Robert H. Freehill, J.), rendered May 31, 2018, convicting her of manslaughter in the second degree, upon her plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's sole argument on appeal is that the sentence imposed was excessive. The defendant's valid waiver of the right to appeal precludes appellate review of her argument that the sentence imposed was excessive (see People v Sanders, 25 NY3d 337, 340; People v Ramos, 7 NY3d 737, 738; People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256).

SCHEINKMAN, P.J., LASALLE, BRATHWAITE NELSON and IANNACCI, JJ., concur.

Aprilanne Agostino

Clerk of the Court
