Supreme Court of Louisiana

607 So. 2d 549 (La. 1992)

Opinion

No. 91-KH-2428.

November 20, 1992.

In re Mims, Michael J.; — Defendant(s); applying for supervisory and/or remedial writs; Parish of Jackson, 2nd Judicial District Court, Div. "B", No. 23,119.


Denied in part; granted in part. Relator has failed to carry his burden of proving that relief should be granted on the claims raised. However, we note that the enhancement of relator's sentences appears to be contrary to our holdings in State ex rel. Porter v. Butler, (La. 1991), and State v. Sherer, (La. 1982). Accordingly, the sentences are set aside and the case is remanded to the district court for resentencing in light of these decisions.

HALL, J., recused.
