v
Kimberly Graziano, appellant.
Laurette D. Mulry, Central Islip, NY (Edward E. Smith of counsel), for appellant.
Timothy D. Sini, District Attorney, Riverhead, NY (Edward A. Bannan of counsel), for respondent.
DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by her motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (John B. Collins, J.), imposed September 19, 2017, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.
ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.
The defendant did not validly waive the right to appeal, since the Supreme Court failed to explain the nature of the right to appeal and the consequences of waiving that right on the record (see People v Parrish, 179 AD3d 841). Thus, appellate review of her contention that the sentence imposed was excessive is not precluded by the purported waiver.
However, the sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).
DILLON, J.P., AUSTIN, ROMAN, HINDS-RADIX and CHRISTOPHER, JJ., concur.
