THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK RESPONDENT v. JESSICA ANN DUGAN DEFENDANT APPELLANT (2010)

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

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

Memorandum:  On appeal from a judgment convicting her upon her plea of guilty of grand larceny in the third degree (Penal Law § 155.35), defendant contends that her right to due process was violated when Supreme Court allegedly conditioned its sentencing commitment on her payment of a portion of the restitution amount by the date of sentencing.   Defendant failed to preserve that contention for our review (see generally People v. Riley, 9 AD3d 902, lv denied 3 NY3d 741), and we decline to exercise our power to review it as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice (see CPL 470.15[6][a] ).   Contrary to the further contention of defendant, her waiver of the right to appeal was knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily entered (see People v. Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256), and her challenge to the severity of the sentence is encompassed by that valid waiver (see People v. Hidalgo, 91 N.Y.2d 733, 737;  People v. Billins, 68 AD3d 1794, lv denied 14 NY3d 797).
