[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent,
vTina Amado, appellant.

Patricia Pazner, New York, NY (Chelsea Lopez of counsel; AD Dunn on the memorandum), for appellant.
Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove and Amy Appelbaum of counsel; Lauren Slattery on the memorandum), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER
Appeals by the defendant, as limited by her motion, from two sentences of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Matthew Sciarrino, Jr., J.), both imposed January 20, 2023, upon her pleas of guilty, on the ground that the sentences were excessive.
ORDERED that the sentences are affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the record demonstrates that she knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived her right to appeal (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256). The defendant's valid waiver of her right to appeal precludes appellate review of her contention that the sentences imposed were excessive (see id. at 255-256; People v Lowe, 216 AD3d 670, 671).
BARROS, J.P., WOOTEN, WARHIT, TAYLOR and LOVE, JJ., concur.
