Before: Gische, J.P., Scarpulla, Mendez, Shulman, Higgitt, JJ.
Judgment of resentence, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Steven Lloyd Barrett, J.), rendered March 15, 2019, resentencing defendant to a term of 23 years on his conviction of manslaughter in the first degree, unanimously affirmed.
The resentencing court providently exercised its discretion in denying youthful offender treatment (see People v. Drayton, 39 N.Y.2d 580 [1976]), given the seriousness of the crime and the very limited scope of sentencing available under such an adjudication.
We perceive no basis for reducing the sentence.
