State Ex Rel. Turner v. State

Opinion

788 So.2d 1199 (2001)

STATE ex rel. Clifford TURNER
v.
STATE of Louisiana.

No. 2000-KH-2034.

Supreme Court of Louisiana.

April 12, 2001.

*1200 Writ granted in part; otherwise denied. Because R.S. 40:967(B)(4)(b) allows and requires a prohibition on parole only for "the first five years" of the sentence, relator's sentence is amended to change the prohibition on parole for the entire 15-year term to a prohibition for only five years. See State v. Gardner, 99-2040 (La.12/17/99), 750 So.2d 994; State v. Malone, 31,726, p. 4 (La.App. 2d Cir. 1/20/99), 728 So.2d 500, 503; State v. Hunter, 33,066, p. 11 (La.App. 2d Cir. 9/27/00), 768 So.2d 687, 694. The district court is directed to make an entry in the minutes reflecting this change. In all other respects, the application is denied.
