Before MOLLEN, P.J., and TITONE, BRACKEN and NIEHOFF, JJ.

MEMORANDUM BY THE COURT.

Motion by the People for an order granting reargument of the appeal in the above entitled case, decided by decision and order of this court, both dated January 14, 1985. 107 A.D.2d 712, 484 N.Y.S.2d 68.

Motion for reargument granted, and, upon reargument, the decision and order of this court, both dated January 14, 1985, are recalled and vacated, and the following decision is substituted therefor:

The defendant also claimed he understood the court's admonition that:

"If you violate any of theconditions * * * you are facing the possibility of consecutive sentence totalling thirty to sixty years which would be the maximum sentence to be imposed by you under each one of these indictments as a second or predicate felon, you would owe seven and a half to fifteen--withdraw that, on the C felony, yes, it would be thirty to sixty years, you could face seven and a half to fifteen years consecutive sentence on each one of these".

The defendant was arrested prior to sentencing and charged with several robberies. At the sentencing in the instant matter, the court adverted to its admonition and sentenced the defendant as a second-felony offender to two concurrent terms of imprisonment of 7 1/2 to 15 years, to run...
