DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Patricia DiMango, J. at plea; Ann Donnelly, J. at sentence), rendered January 30, 2013, convicting him of sexual abuse in the first degree and endangering the welfare of a child, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that the Supreme Court failed to adequately inform him of the immigration consequences of his guilty plea is unpreserved for appellate review as he failed to raise the issue before the Supreme Court or move to withdraw his plea (see People v. Pastor, 28 N.Y.3d 1089, 1091, 45 N.Y.S.3d 317, 68 N.E.3d 42 ; People v. Peque, 22 N.Y.3d 168, 182–183, 980 N.Y.S.2d 280, 3 N.E.3d 617 ; People v. Gustavo–Cano, 149 A.D.3d 1100, 1101, 50 N.Y.S.3d 882 ; People v. Tiburcio, 136 A.D.3d 584, 25 N.Y.S.3d 593 ; People v. Rodriguez, 115 A.D.3d 884, 982 N.Y.S.2d 334 ). In any event, the defendant's contention is without merit (see People v. Gustavo–Cano, 149 A.D.3d at 1101, 50 N.Y.S.3d 882 ).
