Heading: On Motion to Amend Transcript and to Modify Opinion

Text: The opinion herein pointed out that the transcript failed to show that defendant was personally present when the sentence and judgment were pronounced as mandatorily required by Supreme Court Rule 27.08. Consequently, we reversed the judgment and remanded the case with directions to the trial court to pronounce and enter sentence and judgment on the verdict rendered when the defendant was personally present. The state's motion to amend and modity is accompanied by a certified copy of the judgment and sentence actually rendered and entered by the trial court, which affirmatively shows that defendant was personally present at the time the sentence and judgment were originally pronounced, and the motion avers that such fact was not shown in the transcript filed here through a clerical error and omission. The state requests that the transcript be amended to include the certified copy of the sentence and judgment and that our opinion be modified in such a way as to effect an affirmance of the judgment rendered and entered in the trial court. An affidavit attached to the state's motion indicates that a copy thereof was mailed to defendant's attorney on October 16, 1959. Nothing in opposition has been filed by or on behalf of the defendant. The state's motion to amend and modify is sustained and the transcript is amended to include the certified copy of the judgment and sentence and our order reversing the judgment and remanding the case with directions is set aside and the judgment heretofore rendered and entered in the trial court is affirmed.
