Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Lawrence Tonetti, J.), rendered June 11, 1998, convicting defendant, after a nonjury trial, of manslaughter in the first degree, and sentencing him, as a second violent felony offender, to a term of 18 years, unanimously affirmed.
Lynetta M. St. Clair, for respondent.
Allen Fallek, for defendant-appellant.
Before: Rosenberger, J.P., Tom, Mazzarelli, Andrias, Saxe, JJ.
The record is sufficient to establish that defendant signed the jury waiver in the presence of the court.
We perceive no abuse of sentencing discretion.
