People v Lopez, 2022 NY Slip Op 05712 [209 AD3d 763]

October 12, 2022

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Celia Lopez, Appellant.

Steven A. Feldman, Manhasset, NY, for appellant.

Anne T. Donnelly, District Attorney, Mineola, NY (Monica M.C. Leiter and Rebecca L. Abensur of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Patricia A. Harrington, J.), rendered April 14, 2021, convicting her of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs with a child, aggravated driving while intoxicated, and endangering the welfare of a child, upon her plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The record demonstrates that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived her right to appeal ( see People v Thomas , 34 NY3d 545 [2019]; People v Melvin , 165 AD3d 1291 [2018]). The defendant’s valid waiver of her right to appeal precludes appellate review of her contention that the sentence imposed was excessive ( see People v Lopez , 6 NY3d 248 , 255-257 [2006]). Duffy, J.P., Miller, Dowling and Warhit, JJ., concur..
