Head Matter:
STATE of Louisiana v. Darnell K. BRIDGES.
Nos. 91-KA-1719, 91-KA-2610.
Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Fourth Circuit.
Jan. 28, 1993.
Harry F. Connick, Dist. Atty. of Orleans Parish, Jack Peebles, Asst. Dist. Atty. of Orleans Parish, New Orleans, for appellee.
M. Craig Colwart, Sherry Watters, Orleans Indigent Defender Program, New Orleans, for defendant/appellant.
Before SCHOTT, C.J., and JONES and LANDRIEU, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
We granted a rehearing in this matter to resolve a conflict of law that exists in this circuit. Our original opinion 610 So.2d 827 in this matter conflicted with an earlier opinion of this court in State v. James, 599 So.2d 1104 (La.App. 4th Cir.1992) and the James opinion conflicted with State v. Rome, 469 So.2d 1150 (La.App. 4th Cir.1985).
James is an unpublished opinion and has no precedential value. We now affirm Bridges and designate it for publication as the law to be followed.
For this reason, we again affirm the trial court's conviction of defendant but vacate his sentence and remand for resentencing.
CONVICTION AFFIRMED; SENTENCE VACATED AND REMANDED FOR RESENTENCING
KLEES, LOBRANO, WARD, ARMSTRONG, PLOTKIN and WALTZER, JJ., concur as to Footnote 1.
BARRY, BYRNES and CIACCIO, JJ., dissent as to Footnote 1.
. In accordance with the internal rules of the court this question of affirming Bridges was presented to the court en banc. A majority have approved.
