 The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
v
Angel Casado, Appellant.

Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (Lisa Napoli of counsel), for appellant.

Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove and Solomon Neubort of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Patricia DiMango, J.), rendered February 29, 2012, convicting him of assault in the second degree and endangering the welfare of a child, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

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 NY3d 168 [2013]). 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, 178 AD3d 1095 [2019] [decided herewith]; People v Tull, 159 AD3d 1387 [2018]; People v Brazil, 123 AD3d 466, 467 [2014]). Mastro, J.P., Dillon, Brathwaite Nelson and Iannacci, JJ., concur.
