Appellate Advocates (Russ Altman-Merino of counsel), for appellant. Queens County District Attorney (Johnnette Traill and Danielle M. O'Boyle of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal by defendant, as limited by the brief, from a sentence of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, Queens County (Kim Petersen, J.), imposed September 13, 2022, upon her conviction of aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the third degree, upon a plea of guilty.
ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.
Defendant, while represented by counsel, pleaded guilty to aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the third degree (Vehicle and Traffic Law § 511 [1] [a]), as a lesser included offense, in satisfaction of an accusatory instrument that had initially charged her with aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the first degree (Vehicle and Traffic Law § 511 [3] [a] [i]), a class E felony, common-law driving while intoxicated (Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1192 [3]), aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the second degree (Vehicle and Traffic Law § 511 [2] [a] [iv]), driving while ability impaired (Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1192 [1]), and unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle (Vehicle and Traffic Law § 509 [1]). In accordance with the terms of a plea agreement, the court sentenced defendant to pay a fine in the amount of $500. On appeal, defendant contends that her sentence was excessive and [*2]that a fine in the amount of $200, the minimum allowable under Vehicle and Traffic Law § 511 (1) (b), should have been imposed.
Since defendant received the sentence for which she negotiated, she has no cause to complain on appeal (see People v Cooper, 17 AD3d 380 [2005]; People v Johnson, 78 Misc 3d 129[A], 2023 NY Slip Op 50292[U], *1 [App Term, 2d Dept, 9th & 10th Jud Dists 2023]). In any event, the sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]).
Accordingly, the sentence is affirmed.
BUGGS, J.P., MUNDY and HOM, JJ., concur.
