And good cause appearing;
IT IS ORDERED that the within matter is remanded to the trial court for reconsideration of defendant’s sentence in light of the court’s discretionary authority. The court may also include reconsideration of the mandatory minimum and the prosecutor’s refusal to waive the mandatory extended term.
