Opinion
November 5, 1990
Appeal from the County Court, Westchester County (Colabella, J.).
Ordered that the judgments are affirmed.
We find no merit to the defendant's contention that the trial court erred by refusing his request to charge sexual abuse in the third degree as a lesser included offense of sexual abuse in the first degree. To establish entitlement to a lesser included offense charge, the defendant must show, in pertinent part, that "there is a reasonable view of [the] evidence [in the particular case that] would support a finding that [he] commit[ted] the lesser offense [but] not * * * the greater" (People v. Glover, 57 N.Y.2d 61, 64). "If there is no reasonable view of the evidence which would support such a finding, the court may not submit such lesser offense" (CPL 300.50). In the case at bar, the trial court properly concluded that there was no reasonable view of the evidence that the defendant could have been guilty of third degree, but not first degree, sexual abuse (see, People v. Mazzu, 134 A.D.2d 890, 891).
The defendant's remaining contentions, including those raised in his supplemental pro se brief, are either unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05), or without merit. Lawrence, J.P., Kooper, Harwood and Balletta, JJ., concur.
