Per Curiam — Shaylor Black appeals from the sentence imposed after she pleaded guilty to one count offourth degree assault (domestic violence) and one count of misdemeanor violation of a court order (domestic violence). The sentencing judge discussed race and gender comparisons as part ofthe reason for imposing sentence. Such a discussion is impermissible, presenting an appearance of bias. Accordingly, we accept the State's concession that the sentence should be reversed and the matter remanded for resentencing before a different judge.
Reversed and remanded.
