Opinion of the Court
In Re: Leroy Gaines, applying for Writ of Certiorari to the First Circuit Court of Appeal, Number KA-83-1426, 452 So.2d 239; 20th Judicial District Court, Parish of West Feliciana, Number W-83-5-686, Division B.
Granted as to sentence only. In the absence of further reasons, the sentence appears to be excessive. The sentence, is set aside and the case remanded for resentenc-ing after reconsideration.
Dissenting Opinion
joins in the grant noting particularly that the fine on top of the jail sentence for this first offender makes the total sentence appear excessive.
