JEANNE COX, Appellant. Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Supreme Court properly denied defendant's request to charge the defense of duress (Penal Law § 40.00). In the absence of proof of an imminent threat, there is no reasonable view of the evidence to support the defense (see, People v. Brown, 68 A.D.2d 503, 513; see generally, People v. Watts, 57 N.Y.2d 299, 301). We have reviewed defendant's remaining contention and conclude that it is without merit.
