PER CURIAM.

For the reasons stated in the dissenting opinion of the Court of Appeals, the decision of the Court of Appeals is reversed and that court is instructed to reinstate the judgment of the trial court. Discretionary review of the additional issue was improvidently allowed. Defendant's claim of ineffective assistance of counsel is dismissed without prejudice to his right to raise that issue by filing a motion for appropriate relief in the superior court.
