Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v James Seymour, Appellant.

Opinion:
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Finnegan, J.), rendered April 12, 1985, convicting him of manslaughter in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that the trial court erred in denying his request that criminally negligent homicide (Penal Law § 125.10) be charged as a lesser included offense of murder in the second degree (Penal Law § 125.25) and manslaughter in the first and second degrees (Penal Law § 125.20, 125.15) is unpreserved for appellate review. In any event, the contention is without merit, as there was no reasonable view of the evidence which could have supported a finding that the defendant committed the lesser offense but not the greater (see, People v Glover, 57 NY2d 61; CPL 300.50 [1], [2]).
The sentence was neither harsh nor excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80). Lawrence, J. P., Kunzeman, Sullivan and Balletta, JJ., concur.
