SUPPLEMENTAL OPINION ON DENIAL OF REHEARING Mr. JUSTICE SCOTT delivered the opinion of the court: An opinion in this case was filed by this court on August 14,1980, which affirmed the trial court’s conviction of the defendant on two counts of armed violence, aggravated battery and reckless conduct. Subsequently, on August 19,1980, the defendant filed a petition for rehearing in which it is alleged that this court failed to address the issue as to whether error was committed by the trial court when it denied a motion to vacate certain convictions, to wit, a conviction for one count of armed violence and the conviction for aggravated battery and reckless conduct, since they all arose from the same physical act.  In the opinion of August 18,1980, this court noted the issue of multiple convictions arising from one act, however, did not resolve the same. The contention of the defendant is well taken and the State concedes its correctness. (See also People v. King (1977), 66 Ill.2d 551, 363 N.E.2d 838, cert, denied (1977), 434 U.S. 894, 54 L. Ed. 2d 181, 98 S. Ct. 273.) Accordingly this court vacates the defendant’s conviction on one count of armed violence and the conviction for aggravated battery and reckless conduct. The defendant’s conviction for the one remaining count of armed violence and the sentence imposed thereon are affirmed. Having supplemented the opinion heretofore entered by this court on August 14,1980, the defendant’s petition for rehearing is denied. Affirmed as modified by this supplemental opinion and petition for rehearing denied. ALLOY, P. J., and BARRY, J., concur.
