Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, ‍‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‍Orange County (Paño Z. Patsalos, J.), rendered October 12, 1993, convicting her of attempted arson in the third degree, upon her plea ‍‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‍of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant, by pleading guilty, forfeited her right to challenge the denial ‍‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‍of her motion to dismiss the indictment in the interest of justice, commonly known as a Clayton motion (see, People v Merlo, 195 AD2d 576; see ‍‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‍also, People v Clayton, 41 AD2d 204). Her sentence, which was the minimum allowed by law, was not excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 AD2d ‍‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‍80).
