    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v David J. Beverly, Appellant.
    [645 NYS2d 689]
   —Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: We reject the contention that defendant was denied effective assistance by defense counsel’s failure to request that Supreme Court consider assault in the second degree (Penal Law § 120.05 [3], [4]) and reckless endangerment in the second degree (Penal Law § 120.20) as lesser included offenses of attempted murder in the first degree (Penal Law §§ 110.00, 125.27). Neither assault (see, People v Lord, 103 AD2d 1032; People v Grant, 96 AD2d 867, 868) nor reckless endangerment (see, People v Ramirez, 55 NY2d 708) is a lesser included offense of attempted murder.

Defendant’s waiver of a jury trial is authorized by CPL 320.10. The indictment did not charge defendant with the crime of murder in the first degree (see, CPL 320.10 [1]).

The sentence of 15 years to life is the minimum permitted by law for attempted murder in the first degree (see, Penal Law § 70.00 [2] [a]; [3] [a] [i]) and thus the sentence cannot be modified in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction (see, CPL 470.15 [6] [b]).
