PEOPLE v. PORTER (2004)

 The record of the plea proceeding establishes that defendant knowingly, voluntarily and intelligently waived her right to appeal (see People v. Moissett, 76 N.Y.2d 909, 911-912, 563 N.Y.S.2d 43, 564 N.E.2d 653).   That waiver encompasses the contention of defendant that Supreme Court erred in denying her motion to suppress her statements to a fire investigator and a police officer (see People v. Kemp, 94 N.Y.2d 831, 833, 703 N.Y.S.2d 59, 724 N.E.2d 754).   The waiver does not encompass defendant's further contention that the court erred in failing to apprehend the extent of its discretion with respect to the imposition of the period of postrelease supervision (see People v. Stanley, 309 A.D.2d 1254, 767 N.Y.S.2d 712).   The court's statement at the plea proceeding with respect to the imposition of a five-year period of postrelease supervision does not, without more, indicate that the court erroneously believed that it lacked discretion to impose a shorter period (cf. id. at 1255, 767 N.Y.S.2d 712).

It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from be and the same hereby is unanimously affirmed.
