Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Malancha Chanda of counsel), for respondent.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Eduardo Padró, J.), rendered March 8, 2013, as amended April 17, 2013, convicting defendant, upon her plea of guilty, of assault in the first degree, and sentencing her, as a juvenile offender, to a term of 2 ½ to 7 ½ years, unanimously affirmed.
The court properly exercised its discretion in denying youthful offender treatment (see generally People v. Drayton, 39 N.Y.2d 580, 385 N.Y.S.2d 1, 350 N.E.2d 377 [1976] ), given the heinousness of the crime, defendant's failure to comply with the conditions of her plea, and her involvement in additional violent crimes for which a Bronx indictment was pending at the time of sentencing on this case.
We perceive no basis for reducing the sentence.
