SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE TERM, FIRST DEPARTMENT
PRESENT: Shulman, , J.P., Hunter, Jr., Ling-Cohan, JJ.
570994/10

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

against

Abdellah Harouni, Defendant-Appellant.

Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, New York County (Tamiko A. Amaker, J.), rendered August 19, 2010, convicting him, upon a plea of guilty, of petit larceny, and imposing sentence of a one-year jail term.

Per Curiam.

Judgment of conviction (Tamiko A. Amaker, J.), rendered August 19, 2010, affirmed.

Inasmuch as defendant has completed the sentence imposed, any issue regarding the excessiveness of the sentence is moot (see People v La Motte, 285 AD2d 814, 817 [2001]). "Even assuming, arguendo, that defendant's contention is not moot, we would decline to reduce the sentence to 364 days to enable defendant to avoid deportation" (People v Anderson, 66 AD3d 1431 [2009], lv denied 13 NY3d 905 [2009] [internal brackets and quotations omitted]). Defendant, who has an extensive criminal record, was sentenced in accordance with his plea bargain and was made aware of the potential immigration consequences associated with his guilty plea during the allocution.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
