ORDER

The defendant, Angel Sostre, appeals from a judgment of conviction following a trial by jury on one count of unlawful possession of one ounce or more of cocaine, in violation of G.L. 1956 § 21-28-4.01. His sole issue on appeal is that the sentence imposed by the trial justice was unduly severe. After a conference before a single justice of this Court, this case was referred to the full Court at a session in conference for possible disposition without further briefing or argument. We proceed to decide the case at this time pursuant to Rule 12A(6)(b) of the Rules of Appellate Procedure.
