Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County, rendered October 15, 1975, convicting defendant ‍‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‍after jury trial of robbery, first and third degrees, and criminal possession of a weapon, fourth degree, unanimously modified, on the law, to dismiss ‍‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‍the weapon count, and otherwise affirmed. On the facts of this case, the defendant could not have committed the robbery, first degree, without possessing ‍‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‍the weapon. Where the verdict is comprised of inclusory concurrent counts, a verdict of guilty on the greater is deemed a dismissal of the ‍‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‍lesser count. (People v Blake, 58 AD2d 757; People v Buchanan, 57 AD2d 781; People v Diaz, 56 AD2d 557.) We have examined the other points raised by appellant and ‍‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‍find them without merit. Concur—Silverman, J. P. Evans, Capozzoli and Lynch, JJ.
