It is hereby ordered that the judgment so appealed from be and the same hereby is unanimously affirmed.
Memorandum: On appeal from a judgment convicting him upon his plea of guilty of robbery in the first degree (Penal Law § 160.15), defendant contends that Supreme Court abused its discretion in denying his application for youthful offender status. Defendant failed to preserve his contention for our review ( see People v. Jones, 288 AD2d 397, lv denied 97 NY2d 730; People v. Gonzalez [appeal No. 1], 280 AD2d 980) and, in any event, his contention lacks merit ( see generally People v. Henderson, 300 AD2d 1119, lv denied 100 NY2d 539; People v. Smith, 286 AD2d 878, lv denied 98 NY2d 641).
