OPINION OF THE COURT


On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.11 of the Rules of the Court of Appeals ( 22 NYCRR 500.11), order affirmed. The Appellate Division, having affirmed without opinion, may have done so on the basis that the sentence imposed was not excessive, an issue beyond this Court's review.
