Appeal from three judgments of the District Court of Suffolk County, First District (Paul M. Hensley, J.), rendered August 4, 2009. The judgments convicted defendant, upon his pleas of guilty, of three charges of petit larceny and imposed two consecutive sentences, and one concurrent sentence, of one year of incarceration.

ORDERED that the judgments of conviction are affirmed.

Defendant pleaded guilty to three charges of petit larceny (Penal Law § 155.25), and received two consecutive sentences, and one concurrent sentence, of one year of incarceration. His only claim on appeal is that the sentences are excessive. Contrary to defendant's argument, the record indicates that the District Court properly imposed these sentences in an attempt to deter defendant from further criminal activity. In light of all the circumstances, including defendant's extensive criminal history, we decline to reduce the sentences. Accordingly, the judgments of conviction are affirmed.
