DECISION & ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant contends that his right to due process was violated because the Supreme Court failed to advise him that his plea of guilty could have immigration consequences, as required by the Court of Appeals in People v. Peque (22 N.Y.3d 168, 980 N.Y.S.2d 280, 3 N.E.3d 617). Even assuming that the defendant was entitled to such a warning since he was sentenced before Peque was decided, the issue is not properly before this Court because the defendant represented to the court that he was a citizen of the United States (see People v. Williams , ––– A.D.3d ––––, ––– N.Y.S.3d ––––, 2019 WL 7160459 [decided herewith]; People v. Tull , 159 A.D.3d 1387, 72 N.Y.S.3d 675 ; People v. Brazil , 123 A.D.3d 466, 467, 998 N.Y.S.2d 181 ).
MASTRO, J.P., DILLON, BRATHWAITE NELSON and IANNACCI, JJ., concur.
