THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. CLIFTON SNEED, Appellant.

Judgment affirmed.

Defendant's arrest history and his admitted involvement in a robbery in which a firearm was used provided a sound basis for the trial court's decision to deny him treatment as a youthful offender (see, People v Raphael, 109 A.D.2d 899). While certain of defense counsel's remarks at the sentencing hearing might, from defendant's viewpoint, have been better left unsaid, it is evident that they had no impact upon the sentence imposed, which was the one for which counsel had effectively bargained. Under the circumstances, it cannot reasonably be contended that counsel's performance resulted in actual and substantial disadvantage to the defense (see, People v Adams, 110 A.D.2d 772, 773), or that defendant was denied meaningful representation (see, People v Satterfield, 66 N.Y.2d 796; People v Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137, 146). Mangano, J.P., Bracken, Weinstein, Lawrence and Kooper, JJ., concur.
