DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Barry Kron, J.), rendered May 23, 2018, convicting him of burglary in the second degree (two counts), upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant contends that his plea of guilty was involuntary because the Supreme Court did not advise him of the possibility that he could be deported as a consequence of his plea (see generally People v. Peque, 22 N.Y.3d 168, 980 N.Y.S.2d 280, 3 N.E.3d 617 ). Where, as here, nothing in the record contradicts defense counsel's statement that the defendant was a United States citizen, the defendant's contention is not properly before this Court on this direct appeal (see People v. Williams, 178 A.D.3d 1095, 1095, 115 N.Y.S.3d 401 ).
BALKIN, J.P., CHAMBERS, COHEN, CONNOLLY and WOOTEN, JJ., concur.
