The People, etc., respondent, v. Katia West, appellant.
Submitted—December 6, 2017
DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from an amended judgment of the County Court, Orange County (DeRosa, J.), rendered August 17, 2015, revoking a sentence of probation previously imposed by the same court (Berry, J.), upon a finding that she had violated a condition thereof, upon her admission, and imposing a sentence of imprisonment upon her previous conviction of criminal mischief in the second degree.
ORDERED that the amended judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the People's contention, the defendant's waiver of her right to appeal was invalid (see People v. Bradshaw, 18 NY3d 257, 267; People v. Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256; People v. Johnson, 135 AD3d 960; People Guarchaj, 122 AD3d 878, 879). However, the sentence of imprisonment imposed was not excessive (see People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).
MASTRO, J.P., HALL, COHEN and IANNACCI, JJ., concur.
