V. J. Brennan, J.
(dissenting). I cannot concur in my colleagues’ disposition of the sentencing issue here.
The record is clear that the trial judge, upon being advised of the alleged inaccuracies in the presentence report, did the following: (1) adjourned sentencing for over an hour; (2) returned and stated that he had "considered everything that has been said”; and then (3) quite significantly reduced defendant’s sentence by over two years.
There is no question in my mind that the judge considered the claims of inaccuracies. He then came back and lowered the sentence, clearly indicating his response to the claim and the exercise of his discretion. There was no error here.
I would affirm without remand.
