[*1]The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Pilar Sanchez, Defendant-Appellant.

Janet E. Sabel, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Nicholas Raskin of counsel), for appellant.

Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Jonathon Krois of counsel), for respondent.

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Neil Ross, J.), rendered April 17, 2017, convicting defendant, upon her plea of guilty, of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, and sentencing her to a term of five years' probation, unanimously modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, to the extent of reducing the sentence to a three years' probation, and otherwise affirmed.

We find the sentence excessive to the extent indicated. The record does not establish a valid appeal waiver. THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER

OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
