State ex rel. Thomas v. State

Opinion of the Court

In re Thomas, Adovon;—Plaintiff; Applying for Supervisory and/or Remedial Writs, Parish of Webster, 26th Judicial District Court Div. C, No. 61,982; to the Court of Appeal, Second Circuit, No. 34879-KH.

Writ granted. 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 10-year term to a prohibition for only five years. See State ex rel. Turner v. State, 00-2034 (La.4/12/01), 788 So.2d 1199; State v. Gardner, 99-2040 (La.12/17/99), 750 So.2d 994; State v. Malone, 31,726, p. 4 (La.App. 2nd Cir.1/20/99), 728 So.2d 500, 503; State v. Hunter, 33,066, p. 11 (La.App. 2nd Cir.9/27/00), 768 So.2d 687, 694. The district court is directed to make an entry in the minutes reflecting this change.
