458 KA 14-02277
v
LAKISHA D. WASHINGTON, ALSO KNOWN AS LAKISHA D. CRIBB, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
TIMOTHY P. DONAHER, PUBLIC DEFENDER, ROCHESTER (JANET C. SOMES OF COUNSEL), FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
SANDRA DOORLEY, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, ROCHESTER (STEPHEN X. O'BRIEN OF COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT.
Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Monroe County (Francis A. Affronti, J.), rendered December 2, 2014. The judgment convicted defendant, upon her plea of guilty, of assault in the second degree and vehicular assault in the second degree.
It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.
Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting her upon her plea of guilty of assault in the second degree (Penal Law
§ 120.05 [4]) and vehicular assault in the second degree (§ 120.03 [1]). Contrary to defendant's contention, the record establishes that she knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waived her right to appeal (see People v Morales, 148 AD3d 1638, 1639 [4th Dept 2017], lv denied 29 NY3d 1083 [2017]). The valid waiver of the right to appeal encompasses defendant's challenge to the severity of the sentence (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 255 [2006]; People v Hidalgo, 91 NY2d 733, 737 [1998]).
