| The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Elizabeth Johnson, Appellant. |
Patricia Pazner, New York, NY (Steven C. Kuza of counsel), for appellant.
Melinda Katz, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, NY (Johnnette Traill and Amanda Iannuzzi of counsel; Sarah Walter on the memorandum), for respondent.
Crimes - Appeal - Valid Waiver of Right to Appeal
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by her motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Mary L. Bejarano, J.), imposed September 28, 2023, upon her plea of guilty, on the ground that the period of postrelease supervision imposed as part of 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 Lowe, 242 AD3d 771 [2025]; People v Lollis, 241 AD3d 1588 [2025]). The defendant's valid waiver of her right to appeal precludes appellate review of her contention that the period of postrelease supervision imposed as part of the sentence was excessive (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256 [2006]). Barros, J.P., Chambers, Dowling, Landicino and Hom, JJ., concur.
