The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Jerry Smith, Appellant.

Opinion:
Appeal by defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Kings County, rendered July 31, 1961, on his plea of guilty, convicting him of robbery in the second degree, and sentencing him to serve a term of 7% to 15 years, with commitment at Elmira Reception Center pursuant to article 3-A of the Correction Law. Judgment modified on the facts by reducing the sentence to a term of 5 to 10 years with commitment to Elmira Reception Center. As so modified, judgment affirmed.
