Opinion
July 30, 1979
Appeal by defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County, rendered January 29, 1976, convicting him of robbery in the second degree and grand larceny in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence. Judgment modified, on the law, by reversing the conviction of grand larceny in the third degree, and the sentence imposed thereon, and the said count is dismissed. As so modified, judgment affirmed. Since (as the People concede) under CPL 300.30 (subd 4) grand larceny in the third degree is an inclusory concurrent count of robbery in the second degree, a conviction of the greater count is deemed a dismissal of the lesser count (see CPL 300.40, subd 3, par [b]). Accordingly, the lesser count must be dismissed (see People v Grier, 37 N.Y.2d 847). We have examined appellant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Lazer, J.P., Gulotta, Cohalan and Margett, JJ., concur.
