The Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in denying the defendant’s challenge for cause of a prospective juror (see, People v Johnson, 94 NY2d 600 ; People v Blyden, 55 NY2d 73 ).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 ). O’Brien, J. P., Thompson, Sullivan and Altman, JJ., concur.
