The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
v
Sean Boyd, Appellant.

[*1]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 [2002]; People v Smith, 92 NY2d 516 [1998]; People v Slaughter, 78 NY2d 485 [1991]; People v Vivenzio, 62 NY2d 775 [1984]).

The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]). Ritter, J.P., Goldstein, Mastro and Fisher, JJ., concur.
