Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Jeffrey Wojcik of counsel), for respondent.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Laura A. Ward, J.), rendered December 22, 2014, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of robbery in the first degree and burglary in the first degree, and sentencing him to concurrent terms of nine years, unanimously modified, on the law, to the extent of vacating the sentence and remanding for a youthful offender determination, and otherwise affirmed.
As the People concede, based on People v Middlebrooks (25 NY3d 516 [2015]) and People v Rudolph (21 NY3d 497 [2013]), defendant is entitled to an express youthful offender determination.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
