Supreme Court of New Jersey
State v. Currier, 126 N.J. 316 (N.J. 1991)
598 A.2d 877; 1991 N.J. LEXIS 1339

State v. Currier

Opinion of the Court

ON PETITION FOR CERTIFICATION

To the Appellate Division, Superior Court,

Petition for certification is granted, and the judgment of the Appellate Division is summarily modified to vacate that Court’s imposition of a new sentence on defendant. The matter is remanded to the trial court for a resentencing of defendant to an extended term under N.J.S.A. 2C:44 — 3; provided however, that as noted in the decision of the Appellate Division, defendant’s prior record shall not be “double counted” in arriving at an appropriate sentence.

Jurisdiction is not retained.
