MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from be and the same hereby is unanimously affirmed.
Memorandum:
We reject the contention of defendant that County Court abused its discretion in denying her motion to withdraw her guilty plea. Although defendant alleged in support of the motion that she was pressured into pleading guilty, that allegation is belied by her statement during the plea proceeding that she was not threatened, coerced or otherwise influenced against her will into pleading guilty (see People v. Miller, 252 A.D.2d 984, lv denied 92 N.Y.2d 984). Moreover, despite defendant's history of mental illness, "[t]here was not the slightest indication that defendant was uninformed, confused or incompetent" when she entered the plea (People v. Alexander, 97 N.Y.2d 482, 486). The record establishes that defendant's waiver of the right to appeal was knowing, intelligent and voluntary (see People v. Hidalgo, 91 N.Y.2d 733, 736), and that waiver encompasses defendant's challenge to the severity of the sentence (see People v. Lococo, 92 N.Y.2d 825, 827; People v. Grant, 294 A.D.2d 671, 672-673, lv denied 98 N.Y.2d 730).
