v
Sammy Bensabeur, appellant.
Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (Leila Hull of counsel), for appellant.
Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove, Jodi L. Mandel, and Nancy Hoppock of counsel), for respondent.
DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Betty Williams, J., at plea; Joseph E. Gubbay, J., at sentence), rendered September 26, 2018, convicting him of robbery in the first degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, under the circumstances of this case, including the seriousness of the crime and the defendant's subsequent arrests, the denial of youthful offender treatment was a provident exercise of the Supreme Court's discretion (see People v Sutton, 184 AD3d 236, 246; People v Booker, 111 AD3d 759, 759-760).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).
DILLON, J.P., MILLER, BARROS and CONNOLLY, JJ., concur.
