State ex rel. Parker v. State
Louisiana Court of Appeal
State ex rel. Parker v. State, 592 So. 2d 419 (1991)
1991 La. App. LEXIS 3687; 1991 WL 303814
Crain, Lanier, Shortess
State ex rel. Parker v. State
Opinion of the Court
WRIT DENIED: The trial court did not err by denying relator’s motion for correction of illegal sentence. The maximum penalty for distribution of cocaine is thirty years at hard labor because cocaine is elsewhere defined as a narcotic drug. See La.R.S. 40:961; La.R.S. 40:967. Any indication to the contrary in State v. Ellison, 572 So.2d 262 (La.App. 1st Cir. 1990), writ denied, 575 So.2d 388 (La. 1991), is erroneous and is not binding on either the trial court or this Court.
