DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The decision to grant youthful offender status lies within the sound discretion of the trial court ( see, People v. Wallace, 246 A.D.2d 676; People v. Vera, 206 A.D.2d 494; People v. Barr, 168 A.D.2d 625). The County Court's determination to deny youthful offender treatment to the defendant was not an improvident exercise of discretion.
