ORDER ON REVISION

1. I have examined the trial court record.

3.  Despite the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis in our country, I am not satisfied that this is a suitable case for interference with the sentence by this court in exercise of its revisionary powers.

4. The request for revision of sentence is therefore dismissed.  It is so ordered.
