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

Deborah Jackson, Westbury, NY, appellant pro se.

Madeline Singas, District Attorney, Mineola, NY (Laurie K. Gibbons and Hilda Mortensenof counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Bogle, J.),rendered October 11, 2016, convicting her of attempted assault in the second degree, upon herplea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's valid waiver of her right to appeal precludes review of her contention thatthe Supreme Court lacked the authority to correct a ministerial error that occurred during the pleaproceedings (see People v Sanders,25 NY3d 337, 341-342 [2015]; People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 257 [2006]), as well as her challengeto the factual sufficiency of the plea allocution (see People v Lagarenne, 148 AD3d 826 [2017]; People v Carle, 121 AD3d 1011[2014]). Her contentions that the error and its allegedly deficient correction affected thevoluntariness of her plea and rendered her sentence illegal are not barred by her valid waiver ofher right to appeal (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d at 255). However, these contentions arewithout merit (see generally People v Wright, 56 NY2d 613, 614 [1982]; People v Rubendall, 4 AD3d 13,17 [2004]). Rivera, J.P., Leventhal, Austin and Christopher, JJ., concur.
