GRISBAUM, Judge.
This matter relates to a conviction of possession of marijuana—first offense— (La.R.S. 40:966). Although this matter has been lodged as an appeal, since the maximum sentence cannot exceed six months, this Court does not have appellate jurisdiction. See La.C.Cr.P. arts. 912.1, 779. However, under La.C.Cr.P. art. 912.1, we will treat the appeal as an application for supervisory writs and rule on the merits. We reverse and set aside.
