Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Kreindler, J.), imposed May 25, 2000, upon his conviction of assault in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, the sentence being a determinate term of one year imprisonment.

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the sentence is modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, by reducing the term of imprisonment from one year to 364 days.
