DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's claim that her plea was not knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently made as a consequence of being denied effective assistance of counsel is belied by her acknowledgment at the plea proceeding that she was satisfied with the representation of her attorney ( see People v. Weekes, 289 A.D.2d 599).

Since the defendant executed a valid waiver of her right to appeal ( see People v. Hidalgo, 91 N.Y.2d 733,737), she is precluded from challenging her sentence as excessive.

SANTUCCI, J.P., H. MILLER, LUCIANO, CRANE and SPOLZINO, JJ., concur.
