    DATED this 30th day of May, 1984.
   DECISION

The application of the above-named defendant for a review of the sentence of 35 years; DANGEROUS, imposed on May 27, 1983, was fully heard and after a careful consideration of the entire matter it is decided that: the sentence shall remain the same as originally imposed.

HON. JOSEPH P. GARY

DISSENTS: He does not find a history of violence in the pre-sentence report, and would recommend that the DANGEROUS designation be removed.
