DECISION & ORDER
Appeals by the defendant from two judgments of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Ruth Shillingford, J.), both rendered August 18, 2016, convicting him of burglary in the third degree under Indictment No. 10118/14, and burglary in the third degree and criminal contempt in the second degree under Indictment No. 10581/15, upon his pleas of guilty, and imposing sentences.
ORDERED that the judgments are affirmed.
The defendant contends that the sentences imposed constitute cruel and unusual punishment under the State and Federal Constitutions in light of the immigration consequences of his sentences. This contention is unpreserved for appellate review (see CPL 470.05[2]; People v Pena, 28 N.Y.3d 727, 730; People v Smith, 210 A.D.3d 1018; People v Seenarine, 206 A.D.3d 765, 766) and, in any event, without merit (see Fong Yue Ting v United States, 149 U.S. 698, 730; People v Smith, 210 A.D.3d 1018; People v Seenarine, 206 A.D.3d at 766).
The sentences imposed were not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).
