STATE of Louisiana v. Leroy GAINES.
    No. 84-K-1268.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Sept. 14, 1984.
   In Re: Leroy Gaines, applying for Writ of Certiorari to the First Circuit Court of Appeal, Number KA-83-1426, 452 So.2d 239; 20th Judicial District Court, Parish of West Feliciana, Number W-83-5-686, Division B.

Granted as to sentence only. In the absence of further reasons, the sentence appears to be excessive. The sentence, is set aside and the case remanded for resentenc-ing after reconsideration.

WATSON, J.,

joins in the grant noting

particularly that the fine on top of the jail sentence for this first offender makes the total sentence appear excessive.
