DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from an amended judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Wong, J.), rendered September 23, 2013, revoking a sentence of probation previously imposed by the same court (Kohm, J.), upon a finding that she violated a condition thereof, upon her admission, and imposing an indeterminate sentence of 4 to 12 years of imprisonment upon her previous conviction of grand larceny in the second degree.
ORDERED that the amended judgment is modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, by reducing the sentence imposed from an indeterminate term of imprisonment of 4 to 12 years to an indeterminate term of imprisonment of 2 to 6 years; as so modified, the amended judgment is affirmed.
The sentence imposed upon the revocation of probation was excessive to the extent indicated herein (see People v Delaney , 89 AD2d 872; People v Williams , 76 AD2d 914; People v Green , 75 AD2d 625).
In light of our determination, we need not reach the defendant's remaining contentions.
SKELOS, J.P., DICKERSON, MILLER and HINDS-RADIX, JJ., concur.
