Text: There were two multiple offender hearings. At the first, the trial court ruled that defendant was not a multiple offender because the State failed to make an affirmative showing that his guilty plea in California was obtained with a proper waiver of rights under Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238, 89 S.Ct. 1709, 23 L.Ed.2d 274 (1969). This court granted the State's writ and ordered a new sentencing, citing State v. Holden, 375 So.2d 1372 (La., 1979). The trial court did not err in following this court's mandate at the second hearing and placing the burden of proof on defendant. This assignment of error lacks merit.
