Engles v. State
Engles v. State
Addendum
It appears from documents filed with us by appellant in support of a "Motion to Dismiss" that the trial court fully complied with our order of remand and, after a resentencing hearing, sentenced appellant as a habitual offender with two prior felony convictions, and ordered him to pay court costs, attorney's fees, $25 to the Crime Victims Compensation Fund, and restitution of $2,500. After being resentenced, appellant gave pro se notice of appeal. He now moves, through counsel, for a dismissal of his appeal. His motion is accompanied by a letter signed by him requesting dismissal.
Being satisfied that the trial court has fully complied with our order of remand and finding the proceedings below to be proper, we find that appellant's motion to dismiss his appeal should be granted.

All Judges concur.

With our remand for resentencing, we call the trial court’s attention to the documentation of the two remaining prior felony convictions for determination of whether it reflects that Engles was attended by counsel or waived counsel at the time of the convictions, Douglas v. State, 406 So.2d 1051 (Ala.Cr.App.), cert. denied, 406 So.2d 1053 (Ala. 1981), and whether the documents are properly authenticated in compliance with § 12-21-70. McBride v. State, 480 So.2d 619 (Ala.Cr.App. 1985).
Based on the foregoing, this cause is remanded for a new sentencing hearing. Upon its completion, due remand is to be made to this court.
