DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Elizabeth Foley, J.), rendered March 31, 2016, convicting him of assault in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant contends that, in light of the immigration consequences of his sentence, his negotiated sentence of two years of imprisonment followed by two years of postrelease supervision constitutes cruel and unusual punishment under the State and Federal Constitutions. This contention is unpreserved for appellate review (see CPL 470.05[2] ; People v. Pena, 28 N.Y.3d 727, 730, 49 N.Y.S.3d 342, 71 N.E.3d 930 ; People v. Brissett, 196 A.D.3d 642, 642–643, 148 N.Y.S.3d 383 ). In any event, this contention is without merit (see Fong Yue Ting v. United States, 149 U.S. 698, 730, 13 S.Ct. 1016, 37 L.Ed. 905 ; People v. Brissett, 196 A.D.3d at 642–643, 148 N.Y.S.3d 383 ; Marin–Marin v. Sessions, 852 F.3d 192, 194 [2d Cir.] ).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see CPL 470.15[6][b] ; People v. Janvier, 186 A.D.3d 1247, 1251–1252, 130 N.Y.S.3d 486 ; People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80, 455 N.Y.S.2d 675 ).
