PER CURIAM.

¶1 At trial defendant was convicted of first-degree kidnapping (91 CRS 2720), larceny of a firearm (91 CRS 2722), first-degree sex offense (91 CRS 3100) and robbery with a firearm (91 CRS 3332). A majority of the Court of Appeals, Judge Cozort dissenting, found error in the trial court’s failure to instruct on the lesser included offense of assault with a deadly weapon in the robbery case and remanded this case for a new trial. The Court of Appeals unanimously found no error in the other convictions.

¶2 The State appeals to us on the basis of Judge Cozort’s dissent, contending that the Court of Appeals’ decision in the robbery case was erroneous. We conclude the decision should be affirmed.

¶3 AFFIRMED.
