Sentence modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, by reducing it to a five-year period of probation and case remanded to the County Court to fix the conditions of probation and for further proceedings pursuant to CPL 460.50 (subd 5). In our opinion, the sentence was excessive to the extent indicated herein. Margett, J. P., Damiani, Rabin and Mollen, JJ., concur.
