Per Curiam.

¶1Samuel Robinson filed a petition for A.R.Cr.P., Rule 37, relief because he was convicted of aggravated robbery and first degree battery and sentenced in violation of Ark. Stat. Ann. § 41-105 (2) (a) (lesser included offense). We affirmed Robinson’s conviction and his sentence of twenty-five years imprisonment for aggravated robbery and twelve years for first degree battery, finding that the issue argued to us was not properly raised.

¶2Robinson was charged with first degree battery in violation of Ark. Stat. Ann. § 41-1601 (d) in that he committed the battery during the course of a felony, that felony being aggravated robbery. The jury was instructed accordingly, AMCI 1601(A). In accordance with our decisions in Swaite v. State, 272 Ark. 128, 612 S.W.2d 307 (1981), Rowe v. State, 275 Ark. 37,627 S.W.2d 16(1982), and Sanders v. State, 279 Ark. 32, 648 S.W.2d 451 (1983), the conviction and sentence for first degree battery are set aside as being imposed in violation of Ark. Stat. Ann. § 41-105 (Repl. 1977). The conviction and sentence for aggravated robbery are not disturbed. See Wilson v. State, 277 Ark. 219, 640 S.W.2d 440 (1982).
