The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Roberto Ingles, Appellant.
    [962 NYS2d 902]
   Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Arlene D. Goldberg, J.), rendered November 3, 2011, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of grand larceny in the fourth degree (two counts) and jostling, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to an aggregate term of 2 to 4 years, unanimously affirmed.

The court properly declined to submit attempted grand larceny as a lesser included offense, since there was no reasonable view of the evidence, when viewed in the light most favorable to defendant (see generally People v James, 11 NY3d 886 [2008]), to support the conclusion that defendant’s conduct failed to satisfy the asportation requirement discussed in Harrison v People (50 NY 518 [1872]). Even when viewed favorably to defendant, the surveillance videotape tends to confirm, rather than contradict, the victim’s testimony that her wallet landed on the floor during the incident.
