Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Melissa C. Jackson, J.), rendered July 17, 2017, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of burglary in the first degree, and sentencing him to a term of seven years, with five years' postrelease supervision, unanimously modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, to the extent of reducing

the prison component of the sentence to six years, and otherwise affirmed.

We find the sentence excessive to the extent indicated.
