State v. Dickerson
584 So. 2d 1140 | La. | 1991
STATE of Louisiana
v.
William DICKERSON.
Supreme Court of Louisiana.
PER CURIAM.
Granted in part.
La.Rev.Stat. 15:529.1 requires that the sentencing judge vacate the original sentence and resentence the defendant as a multiple offender. In resentencing, the judge must impose a sentence authorized by La.Rev.Stat. 15:529.1. That statute does not authorize the imposition of a fine, but only provides for enhanced sentences relating to the term of imprisonment. The trial judge was therefore without authority to impose a fine on resentencing under La.Rev.Stat. 15:529.1.
Accordingly, the fine and default provisions of defendant's sentence are deleted. The application is otherwise denied.
