Opinion of the Court
— Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from two sentences of the Supreme Court, Kings County (G.

Ordered that the sentences are modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, to the extent of vacating the defendant’s adjudication as a second violent felony offender and adjudicating him a second felony offender; as so modified the sentences are affirmed.
