MEMORANDUM BY THE COURT.

Appeal by defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Nassau County, rendered June 17, 1981, convicting her of attempted grand larceny in the second degree, upon her plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Judgment affirmed.

Defendant's plea of guilty operated as a waiver of her claimed statutory right to dismissal of the indictment pursuant to CPL 210.20(subd. 1, par. [g] ) on the ground that the People were not ready for trial within the period prescribed by CPL 30.30(People v. Suarez, 55 N.Y.2d 940, 449 N.Y.S.2d 176, 434 N.E.2d 245;People v. Savage, 54 N.Y.2d 697, 442 N.Y.S.2d 974, 426 N.E.2d 468;People v. Friscia, 51 N.Y.2d 845, 433 N.Y.S.2d 754, 413 N.E.2d 1168).

Moreover, the record of the plea colloquy makes it clear that defendant made a voluntary and intentional surrender of her constitutional right to a speedy trial (seePeople v. Rodriguez, 50 N.Y.2d 553, 557, 429 N.Y.S.2d 631, 407 N.E.2d 475;People v. Blakley, 34 N.Y.2d 311, 314, 357 N.Y.S.2d 459, 313 N.E.2d 763;People v. White, 32 N.Y.2d 393, 399, 345 N.Y.S.2d 513, 298 N.E.2d 659.Cf.People v. Schurmann, 81 A.D.2d 898, 439 N.Y.S.2d 151).In any event, we note that no denial of defendant's constitutional right to a speedy trial has been demonstrated (seePeople v. Taranovich, 37 N.Y.2d 442, 373 N.Y.S.2d 79, 335 N.E.2d 303).
