Nicholson, J.
*598 Defendants Karre Mullins and Arturo Russell were convicted by jury of robbery involving bank customers at ATM's. Defendant Mullins was also convicted on a count of conspiracy to commit petty theft. Sentenced to determinate terms, defendants appeal. On appeal, they argue: (1) the evidence was insufficient to support robbery convictions, (2) the existence of an identity theft statute precluded convictions for robbery because the identity theft statute is more specific, and (3) the trial court improperly used argumentative language to instruct the jury on robbery. Additionally, defendant Mullins argues: (4) the trial court abused its discretion by sentencing on the conspiracy conviction as a felony rather than as a misdemeanor. And defendant Russell argues: (5) the sentencing minute order and abstract of judgment fail to properly reflect the sentence imposed. We find merit only in the last contention. We therefore affirm and direct correction of the sentencing minute order and abstract of judgment.
BACKGROUND
Because defendants do not challenge evidence concerning their identity, we do not recount identity evidence.
