Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Dutchess County (Forman, J.), rendered June 23, 2015, convicting him of robbery in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The County Court providently exercised its discretion in denying the defendant youthful offender treatment (see CPL 720.20[1] ; People v. Gilliard, 150 A.D.3d 1147, 52 N.Y.S.3d 639 ; People v. Morse, 144 A.D.3d 710, 710, 39 N.Y.S.3d 836 ; People v. Bae, 137 A.D.3d 804, 804, 25 N.Y.S.3d 887 ; People v. Jones, 118 A.D.3d 912, 914, 987 N.Y.S.2d 447 ). Moreover, the sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v. Morse, 144 A.D.3d at 710, 39 N.Y.S.3d 836; People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80, 85–86, 455 N.Y.S.2d 675 ).
