DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is modified by adding thereto a provision suspending the sentence of seven days imprisonment; as so modified, the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
Under the circumstances of this case, the imposition of a seven-day jail sentence for violating the temporary order of protection was excessive. Accordingly, we substitute our discretion for that of the Supreme Court and impose a suspended sentence (see generally Matter of Lewin v. Lewin, 124 A.D.2d 730).
FEUERSTEIN, J.P., O'BRIEN, TOWNES and COZIER, JJ., concur.
