STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, UNPUBLISHED December 4, 2003 Plaintiff-Appellee, v No. 241085 Macomb Circuit Court LC No. 01-003759-FH CHRISTOPHER D. WILLIAMSON, Defendant-Appellant. Before: Murray, P.J., and Gage and Kelly, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Defendant appeals as of right from a jury conviction of felonious assault, MCL 750.82, for which he was sentenced to 30 to 180 months in prison. We affirm. This appeal is being decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E). Defendant’s sole claim on appeal is that the trial court erred in its instructions regarding the crime itself because it did not include instructions on the defenses of accident, intoxication, or self-defense. Defendant cannot predicate error requiring reversal on the lack of instructions which were never requested. MCL 768.29; MCR 2.516(C). Moreover, a review of the record indicates that defense counsel expressed satisfaction with the instructions given. Defendant therefore waived any claim of error and there is no error to review.
