[*1]THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, RESPONDENT,
vMARY R. BAKER, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT. 


TIMOTHY P. DONAHER, PUBLIC DEFENDER, ROCHESTER (JANET C. SOMES OF COUNSEL), FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
SANDRA DOORLEY, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, ROCHESTER (STEPHEN X. O'BRIEN OF COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT. 

	Appeal from a judgment of the Monroe County Court (Vincent M. Dinolfo, J.), rendered April 23, 2015. The judgment convicted defendant upon her plea of guilty of, inter alia, aggravated driving while intoxicated. 
It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.
Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting her upon her plea of guilty of, inter alia, aggravated driving while intoxicated (Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1192 [2-a] [a]). Even assuming, arguendo, that defendant's waiver of the right to appeal is invalid and thus does not preclude our review of her challenge to the severity of her sentence (see People v Herman, 151 AD3d 1866, 1867 [4th Dept 2017], lv denied 29 NY3d 1127 [2017]), we conclude that the sentence is not unduly harsh or severe.

Clerk of the Court
