State v. Cockerham

State v. Cockerham
Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided June 15, 2018 · Crichton, Genovese, Grant, Holdridge, Reasons
245 So. 3d 1035 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

State v. Cockerham

Opinion of the Court

GENOVESE, J., would grant for the reasons assigned by Judge Holdridge.

CRICHTON, J., would grant in part and assigns reasons:

*1036As Judge Holdridge notes in his dissent below, without an amendment to the habitual offender bill of information by the district attorney, the district court was limited to sentencing the defendant as a third-felony offender. I agree and would therefore reverse the fourth-felony adjudication and remand to the district court for further proceedings.
