Opinion

678 So.2d 536 (1996)

Jessie ST. AMANT
v.
19TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT.

No. 94-KH-0567.

Supreme Court of Louisiana.

September 3, 1996.

Writ granted. Because the terms of the statute under which relator was sentenced do not include a prohibition on parole, see R.S. 14:62, the district court is directed to resentence relator to a term which does not include such a prohibition. Relator's parole eligibility "is to be determined by the Department of Corrections pursuant to R.S. 15:574.4." State v. Bell, 543 So.2d 965, 970 (La.App. 4th Cir. 1989); see Also State v. Langlois, 620 So.2d 1193, 1195 (La.App. 4th Cir. 1993); cf. State ex rel. Simmons v. Stadler, 93-1852 (La. 1/26/96), 666 So.2d 661; Jackson v. Phelps, 506 So.2d 515 517-18 (La. App. 1st Cir. 1987), writ denied, 508 So.2d 829 (La. 1987).

*537 VICTORY, J., would deny the writ.
