Opinion
October 14, 1997
Appeal from the County Court, Suffolk County (Weissman, J.),
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant contends that he should have been adjudicated a youthful offender. At sentencing, the defendant did not move to withdraw his plea or otherwise object when the court denied his motion for youthful offender treatment. As a result, the defendant has waived his right to appellate review of this issue ( see, People v. Maybeck, 157 A.D.2d 861; People v. Woods, 143 A.D.2d 1068; People v. Polansky, 125 A.D.2d 342). In any event, the sentencing court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in denying the defendant youthful offender treatment in light of the facts and circumstances underlying the crime of which he was convicted ( see, People v. Maybeck, supra).
Rosenblatt, J.P., O'Brien, Thompson, Friedmann and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
