DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Martin P. Murphy, J.), imposed February 28, 2012, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.
ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.
Although the defendant has served his sentence, the question of whether the sentence imposed should be reduced is not academic, because the sentence imposed has potential immigration consequences (see People v. Ayala , 142 A.D.3d 1095, 1095, 37 N.Y.S.3d 712 ; People v. Aisewomhonio, 131 A.D.3d 1177, 1178, 16 N.Y.S.3d 764 ). Considering all the relevant circumstances of this case, we conclude that the sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80, 455 N.Y.S.2d 675 ).
