[*1]
 The People of the State of New York,Respondent,
v
Kisha Jones, Appellant.

Lynn W.L. Fahey, New York, N.Y., for appellant.

Kenneth P. Thompson, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove andMorgan J. Dennehy of counsel; Robert Ho on the memorandum), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by her motion, from a sentence of the SupremeCourt, Kings County (Murphy, J.), imposed March 29, 2011, upon her plea of guilty, onthe ground that the sentence was excessive.

Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention, her waiver of the right to appeal wasknowing, voluntary, and intelligent (see People v Ramos, 7 NY3d 737, 738 [2006]; People v Milton, 111 AD3d765, 766 [2013]; People vMcCray, 103 AD3d 666, 667 [2013]). Since the defendant's valid waiver of herright to appeal encompasses the waiver of the right to invoke the Appellate Division'sinterest of justice jurisdiction to modify sentences, review of the defendant's contentionthat the sentence imposed was excessive is precluded (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d248, 255 [2006]). Eng, P.J., Mastro, Dickerson, Lott and Miller, JJ., concur.
