    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Enrique Pizarro, Appellant.
    [932 NYS2d 355]
   The defendant was indicted on charges of, inter alia, murder in the second degree. At trial, he requested that the court charge the lesser-included offenses of manslaughter in the first degree and manslaughter in the second degree. The Supreme Court properly denied the defendant’s request to charge manslaughter in the second degree as a lesser-included offense of the charge of murder in the second degree. Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the defendant, there was no reasonable view of the evidence that would support a finding that the defendant acted recklessly when he stabbed the decedent (see People v Lopez, 72 AD3d 593, 593-594 [2010]; People v Collins, 290 AD2d 457, 458 [2002]; People v James, 284 AD2d 549 [2001]; People v Barnes, 265 AD2d 169 [1999]; People v Porter, 161 AD2d 811 [1990]).

The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]). Rivera, J.E, Angiolillo, Belen and Roman, JJ., concur.
