v
Tieara Richards, Defendant-Appellant.
Caprice R. Jenerson, Office of the Appellate Defender, New York (Ronald Zapata of counsel), for appellant.
Darcel D. Clark, District Attorney, Bronx (Andrew J. Loizides of counsel), for respondent.
Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Timothy W. Lewis, J.), rendered May 8, 2024, convicting defendant, upon her plea of guilty, of attempted assault in the first degree , and sentencing her to a term of three-and-a-half years imprisonment and five years of post-release supervision, unanimously modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, to the extent of reducing the post-release supervision component of the sentence to a term of three-and-a-half years, and otherwise affirmed.
We find the sentence excessive to the extent indicated. The record does not establish a valid appeal waiver.
