The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v JoseDeLeon, Appellant.

—[*1]Steven Banks, New York, N.Y. (Amy Donner of counsel), for appellant.

Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove, Solomon Neubort,and Terry-Ann Llewellyn of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Feldman, J.),rendered May 3, 2005, convicting him of manslaughter in the second degree and criminalpossession of a weapon in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the Supreme Court did not err in denying his requestfor a justification charge, as no reasonable view of the evidence supported the charge (see People v Ojar, 38 AD3d 684[2007]; People v Brown, 33 AD3d1016 [2006]).

The imposition of consecutive sentences was not illegal (see People v Salcedo, 92NY2d 1019 [1998]; People v James, 271 AD2d 456 [2000]). Miller, J.P., Ritter, Skelosand Covello, JJ., concur.
