 The People of the State of New York,Respondent,
v
Gonzolo Juarez, Appellant.

Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (Kendra L. Hutchinson of counsel), for appellant.

Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove and Seth Lieberman ofcounsel; Anna Arena on the memorandum), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court,Kings County (Martin P. Murphy, J.), imposed July 31, 2017, upon his plea of guilty, on theground that the sentence was excessive.

Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.

Although the defendant has served his sentence, the question of whether the sentenceimposed should be reduced is not academic, because the sentence imposed has potentialimmigration consequences (see People vBroderick, 165 AD3d 972, 972 [2018]; People v Ayala, 142 AD3d 1095, 1095 [2016]). Considering all ofthe relevant circumstances of this case, we conclude that the sentence imposed was not excessive(see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]). Balkin, J.P., Chambers, Cohen, Barros andConnolly, JJ., concur.
