Opinion
August 2, 1993
Appeal from the County Court, Suffolk County (Mallon, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
We find no merit to the defendant's claim that the court improvidently exercised its discretion in denying him youthful offender status (see, CPL 720.20 [a]; People v Schwarz, 183 A.D.2d 859; People v Worthington, 173 A.D.2d 665). Moreover, the defendant's sentence was not excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). Mangano, P.J., Rosenblatt, Lawrence, Copertino and Joy, JJ., concur.
