PEOPLE v. SEARLES

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the defendant, there is no reasonable view of the evidence which would support a finding that he acted recklessly when he inflicted fatal stab wounds upon the victim. Thus, the defendant was not entitled to the submission to the jury of manslaughter in the second degree as a lesser included offense of murder in the second degree (see, People v Martin, 59 N.Y.2d 704; People v Glover, 57 N.Y.2d 61; People v Green, 56 N.Y.2d 427, rearg denied 57 N.Y.2d 775).

In addition, we find that the sentence imposed does not constitute an abuse of discretion (see, People v Farrar, 52 N.Y.2d 302, 305; People v Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80, 86-87). Thompson, J.P., Weinstein, Eiber and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
