[738 NYS2d 203]

Opinion:
—Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Robert Straus, J.), rendered June 30, 1999, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of robbery in the first degree, and sentencing him to a term of 4 to 8 years, unanimously affirmed.
The court properly exercised its discretion in denying youthful offender treatment given the seriousness of the crime and defendant's role therein. We perceive no basis for a reduction of sentence. Concur — Mazzarelli, J.P., Ellerin, Lerner, Rubin and Marlow, JJ.
