Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Robert Baez, Appellant.

Opinion:
—Judgment rendered May 11, 1981 in Supreme Court, New York County (Dennis Edwards, J.) convicting appellant of robbery in the first degree, modified as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, and sentence is vacated and appellant is resentenced to a term of 5 to 10 years. Upon review we find the sentence originally imposed, 9 to 18 years, to be unduly harsh and severe. In the exercise of our discretion we reduce it to the extent indicated. Concur — Sandler, Carro and Asch, JJ.
