Head Matter:
STATE ex rel. Feltus STEWART v. STATE of Louisiana.
No. 87-KH-0459.
Supreme Court of Louisiana.
March 20, 1987.

Opinion:
In re Stewart, Feltus; applying for supervisory writs; Parish of Orleans, Criminal District Court, Div. "D", No. 251-454.
Granted. The twenty-year sentence for violation of La.R.S. 40:966 is facially illegal in excess of the maximum sentence for the basic crime, because the minute entry and commitment papers do not show that relator was sentenced as a multiple offender. The sentence is therefore set aside and the case is remanded for resentencing.
