The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Eze Robertson, Appellant.
    [656 NYS2d 895]
   Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Gerges, J.), rendered September 12, 1994, convicting him of attempted murder in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Evidence of prior uncharged crimes was properly admitted to establish the defendant’s motive and intent to harm the victim (see, People v Aviles, 234 AD2d 466; People v Sutton, 220 AD2d 705; People v Carver, 183 AD2d 907; People v Jones, 173 AD2d 331; People v Linton, 166 AD2d 670). Moreover, the probative value of this evidence far outweighed any prejudicial effect (see, People v Alvino, 71 NY2d 233).

The sentence imposed was not excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80). Sullivan, J. P., Santucci, Friedmann and McGinity, JJ., concur.
