THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, RESPONDENT, v. VICTOR SOLO, APPELLANT.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Egitto, J.), rendered July 26, 1995, convicting him of murder in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree (two counts), criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree (two counts), and grand larceny in the fourth degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the failure of defense counsel to present a defense of extreme emotional disturbance did not constitute ineffective assistance of counsel (see, People v. Benevento, 91 N.Y.2d 708; People V. Feris, 144 A.D.2d 691; People v. Knights, 109 A.D.2d 910).

The defendant's sentence was not excessive (see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).
