    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Julio Perez, Appellant.
    [62 NYS3d 115]
   Judgment of resentence, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Ann M. Donnelly, J.), rendered February 24, 2015, resentencing defendant to an aggregate term of 10 years, with an aggregate term of 5 years’ postrelease supervision, unanimously affirmed.

On this Court’s remand for resentencing (123 AD3d 592 [1st Dept 2014], lv denied 25 NY3d 1169 [2015]), the court properly exercised its discretion in denying defendant’s request for youthful offender treatment. Without a showing of mitigating factors, defendant would be ineligible due to his convictions of armed felonies in this case (see CPL 720.10 [2] [a] [ii]; [3]). Defendant’s principal claim of mitigation is essentially a justification defense, but on the prior appeal this Court has already found that a justification charge would not have been supported by any reasonable view of the evidence and that counsel was not ineffective for failing to raise such a defense (123 AD3d at 593). The remaining mitigating factors cited by defendant, including his family support, employment history, deportation risk, and lack of a prior record, do not “bear directly upon the manner in which the crime was committed” (CPL 720.10 [3] [i]). “In any event, regardless of defendant’s eligibility, youthful offender treatment was not warranted” (People v Jordan, 143 AD3d 524, 525 [1st Dept 2016], lv denied 28 NY3d 1125 [2016]), in light of the heinousness of the crime, which involved shooting two people, causing extensive injuries to one of them.

We also perceive no basis for reducing the sentence.
