ORDERED that the amended judgment and the resentence are affirmed. On the facts presented, the crime of unlawful imprisonment in the second degree merged into the greater offense of sodomy in the first degree (see, People v. Geaslen, 54 N.Y.2d 510; People v. Cassidy, 40 N.Y.2d 763; People v. Wong, 237 A.D.2d 308). Accordingly, the defendant's conviction for unlawful imprisonment in the second degree must be vacated and the count of the indictment charging that crime must be dismissed. The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
