STATE of Louisiana v. Lenard FORD.
    No. 82-KA-0142.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Nov. 5, 1982.
    William J. Guste, Jr., Atty. Gen., Barbara Rutledge, Asst. Atty. Gen., Marion B. Farmer, Dist. Atty., Walter P. Reed, Margaret A. Coon and Abbott J. Reeves, Asst. Dist. Attys., for plaintiff-appellee.
    William J. Faustermann, Jr., Slidell, for defendant-appellant.
   PER CURIAM.

Because the defendant was not conscious when the trial judge announced his sentencing considerations and thus did not have a chance in the trial court to dispute the accuracy thereof, the sentence is sfet aside.

CONVICTION AFFIRMED; SENTENCE VACATED AND CASE REMANDED FOR RESENTENCING.
