280 A.D.2d 499 (N.Y. App. Div. 2001)

Opinion

Argued January 5, 2001.

February 5, 2001.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Knipel, J.), rendered May 5, 1999, convicting him of sodomy in the first degree (two counts), upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (Warren S. Landau of counsel), for appellant.

Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove and Adam S. Charnoff of counsel), for respondent.

Before: CORNELIUS J. O'BRIEN, J.P., GABRIEL M. KRAUSMAN, ANITA R. FLORIO, DANIEL F. LUCIANO, JJ.


DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

The trial court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in denying the defendant's request for youthful offender treatment and imposing the maximum sentence, given the brutal and depraved nature of the crimes (see, People v. Annette, 262 A.D.2d 670; People v. Granton, 236 A.D.2d 624; People v. Tam Phan, 225 A.D.2d 715; People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).

The defendant's remaining contention is unpreserved for appellate review and we decline to reach it in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction (see, CPL 470.05).
