DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in denying the defendant's challenge for cause of a prospective juror (see, People v. Johnson, 94 N.Y.2d 949; People v. Blyden, 55 N.Y.2d 73).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).
