Opinion
1999-09924
September 13, 2004.
Before: Ritter, J.P., Goldstein, Mastro and Fisher, JJ., concur.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Chambers, J.), rendered October 7, 1999, convicting him of robbery 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 granting his request to proceed pro se ( see People v. Arroyo, 98 NY2d 101; People v. Smith, 92 NY2d 516; People v. Slaughter, 78 NY2d 485; People v. Vivenzio, 62 NY2d 775).
The sentence imposed was not excessive ( see People v. Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).
