GOLDEN, Justice,
specially concurring.
I would affirm the district court’s order denying Mr. Frenzel’s motion to correct an allegedly illegal sentence, but would do so because we have held that a motion under Wyo.R.CRIM.P. 35(a) to correct an illegal sentence is not the proper remedy by which to assert double jeopardy violations upon con-*870vietions of separate crimes arising from the same facts. Birr v. State, 878 P.2d 515 (Wyo.1994), rehearing granted, 895 P.2d 43 (Wyo.1995); and DeSpain v. State, 865 P.2d 584 (Wyo.1993).
