THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. SYLVESTER DAVIS, Appellant.

The court properly exercised its discretion in resentencing defendant without the aid of an updated presentence report. Upon defendant's appeal from his original conviction of first-degree robbery and sentence of 18 years, this Court concluded that the affirmative defense under Penal Law § 160.15 (4) should have been charged, and that "[u]nder the circumstances of the case, reduction of the conviction to robbery in the second degree with a remand for resentencing would provide an appropriate remedy for the charging error" ( 3 AD3d 339, 339, lv denied 2 NY3d 761). Defendant was continuously incarcerated, and it was well within the resentencing court's discretion to decide that it did not need additional information about defendant's conduct in prison ( see People v. Kuey, 83 NY2d 278, 282-283). We have considered and rejected defendant's remaining claims.
